I configured samba as a print server in a SOHO network. I can print via another linux machine via samba but not with Windows 2000/Vista.
On 2000, I get an error saying “The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship”. No logon prompts.
With Vista, I get a prompt and entering the samba user name results in a can not connect error.
I followed the steps in swerdnas how-to. Anyone have any suggestions?
Can you show us the [global] stanza from smb.conf and the [printers] stanza?

vilanye;
Please respond to Swerdna’s message; you can substitute values for any
sensitive settings. The error on Win2000 sounds like you have Samba setup as
a “Domain Controller”. If this was your intent, then you need to join the
machine to the domain.
Have you:
smbpasswd -a <username>
,
2) opened the Samba ports on your fire wall ( for testing you should try
disabling the firewall),
3) verified that both smbd and nmbd are running?
