Edit Samba Share — Printer

Here, modify an existing share of a printer. Your input is limited by the kind of each parameter.

The Directory used for the print spool file must be writable by the user of the print job. Therefore, it is recommended to use /var/tmp, as this directory is writable by everyone and should provide enough space on the hard disk.

Create Mask determines the permissions of the print spool file used. For a maximum of privacy, use 0600. With this, the temporary file is only readable and writable by the user printing.

To announce a share as a printer, Printable must be set to Yes.

With Save, your changes take effect.

Select Add Parameter to add a previously unused parameter to this share.

By activating the check box labeled Delete Parameter behind a parameter, remove it. It is not possible to remove the minimum set of parameters. These are Share name, Comment, Directory, and Printable.
