Configuring samba sharing printer

We can make Ubuntu as a server sharing the printer. Configuration process must be done as user root. open the terminal.

Start Menu -> Accesories -> Terminal

Next login as root, and type the command:


$ gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Some lines must be edited is;

1. In the authentication, security add a security = share
2. In the authentication, encrypt passwords = true
3. In the authentication, guest account = nobody
4. In the printing, load printers = yes
5. In the printing, printing = cups
6. In the printing, printcap name = cups
7. On the share definition, tag printers, browseable = yes
8. On the share definition, tag printers, public = yes
   

You can enter some additional configuration to make sure samba is running smoothly, as follows;

• In the networking, the interface is filled with the engine at that time
• At the global - browsing identification, give a new value called NetBIOS name with the desired name. Most easily, the user name of the machine
  

Save and restart the samba service using the command:

$ /etc/init.d/samba restart

This is example configuration file samba server that has been modified :

#====================== Global Settings =======================
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = MUSTOFA-TU
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
dns proxy = no
interfaces = 10.3.100.200/16 eth0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
security = share
passdb backend = tdbsam
obey pam restrictions = yes
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *EntersnewsUNIXspassword:* %nn *RetypesnewsUNIXspassword:* %nn
*passwordsupdatedssuccessfully* .
load printers = yes

printing = cups
printcap name = cups
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
[print$]

Install Wbar In Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)

Wbar is a quick-launch bar (not a dock) that has an appearance similar to Avant Window Manager and Cairo Dock. It is GTK (Gnome) based but can work in all desktop environments. It does not require a compositing manager to be installed and is therefore quicker and more suitable for low-end hardware systems. It is the default in the Google gOS desktop and is available as a .deb package from Google. Download and install (from the command-line Terminal):

$ wget http://wbar.googlecode.com/files/wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb

Start wbar with custom start options (e.g. by pressing alt+F2). Here is an example:

$ wbar -isize 48 -j 1 -p bottom -balfa 40 -bpress -nanim 3 -z 2.5 -above-desk

Here is another example:

$ wbar -above-desk -pos bottom -isize 60 -nanim 1 -bpress -jumpf 0.0 -zoomf 1.5

For a full list of command-line startup options, see:

$ wbar --help

Tip: If you want the "wave" effect just increase the -nanim value. I like the icons to just pop up so I don't use it, but with 9 icons 5 there is a nice "wave" effect.

Obviously, you could create a menu item with the command line options (similar to the examples above), or a batch file that can be automatically started at system startup (as a cron event or startup session).

You can also change wbar startup options by editing the configuration file:

$ sudo gedit /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar

See this example configuration file. However, not all options are able to be set from the configuration file and must be run from the command line. For more info see this wbar guide.

wbarconf

A simple wbar configuration utility can be downloaded as a .deb package and installed:

$ wget http://koti.kapsi.fi/~ighea/wbarconf/wbarconf_0.7.2-1_i386.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i wbarconf_0.7.2-1_i386.deb
