[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba Configuration

[Randall Gibson]

If I require a password right now, Windows will try to use its login
username/password. If that fails, it just fails, doesnt prompt user for
correct password. 
The other alternative I guess will be to setup different users in windows
so that only the people I want to print can, if they login with thier
username.

Thanks!!
