To translate this name into the address needed to reach the SMB host,
Samba checks several places where the name may be assigned to an IP address. Samba
checks the following (in the order shown) until it finds a match: the local /etc/hosts
file, the local /etc/lmhosts file, a WINS server on the network, and responses to
broadcasts on each local network interface to resolve the name.
Share??”Name under which the printer is shared with the remote computer. It may be
different from the name by which local users of the SMB printer know the printer.
User??”Username is required by the SMB server system to give you access to the SMB
printer. A username is not necessary if you are authenticating the printer based on sharelevel
rather than user-level access control. With share-level access, you can add a password
for each shared printer or file system.
Password??”Password associated with the SMB username or the shared resource,
depending on the kind of access control being used.
When you enter a User and Password for SMB, that information is stored unencrypted in
the /etc/cups/printers.conf file. Be sure that the file remains readable only by root.
The following is an example of the SMB URI you could add to the SMB:// box:
jjones:my9passswd@FSTREET/NS1/hp
The URI shown here identifies the username (jjones), the user??™s password (my9passswd), the
workgroup (FSTREET), the server (NS1), and the printer queue name (hp).
