Default [Samba] Using printers with SAMBA

Hello,
I have a Linux box with 2 printers attached and 1 scanner. One printer =
connects with LPT1, the other with USB and the scanner is USB also.
I want to share all these within my local network. For that, I installed =
Samba.
When I start the Linux box, the parallel printer starts to print =
rubbish. I supposed that was a problem with the printer itself, but I =
switched on alone without the printer connection and was Ok. The thing =
starts when starts the Linux. I observed that there is a daemon, lpd, =
that is started with Linux. I killed it from the command line, but the =
printer continues to print rubbish.

I tried to share them within the LAN I have. It is composed of the Linux =
box and 2 Windows machines. The 2 printers are 'seen' by the two Windows =
machines, but when I install the drivers for them a message appears: =
"Access denied".

I copy the smb.conf file I have here:

[global]
encrypt passwords =3D yes
workgroup =3D WORKGROUP

[HPLaserJ]
printable =3D yes
print command =3D /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer =3D /dev/lp0
printing =3D BSD
read only =3D yes
guest ok =3D yes
=20
[Stylus740]
printable =3D yes
print command =3D /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer =3D /dev/usb/lp0
printing =3D BSD
read only =3D yes
guest ok =3D yes


[test]
Comment =3D Testeo de Samba
path =3D /hda3
valid users =3D juan jose
read only =3D no



The printers are HP LaserJet 1100 (parallel) and Epson Stylus Color 740I =
(USB).
The scanner is an HP ScanJet 2200c (USB).
I have already installed the respective drivers in the Windows machines.
Maybe I have to put a different configuration in smb.conf.
I will wait your answers.

Thanks in advance.

Juan
