Aloha!
I have installed the CUPS plugin and I've configured my Brother printer (attached to the OMV via USB) correctly (so far) and I've configured the printer driver on my daughter's Windows computer.
That's where my problem/question begins: She *can* print from that computer ONLY, when she's authenticated on the OMV.
So in order for her to actually use the printer, she has to connect to a share and enter her username and password one time in each session.
After that, she can use the CUPS printer without any problems.
The point is, she rarely uses the OMV's shares and she tries to stay disconnected from the OMV shares when she don't need them.
One reason is the danger of catching a CryptoLocker that would try to encrypt the network shares.... so please don't tackle that part of the problem - I know this can be "solved" by auto mounting and password save.... that's not the point here.
Instead, I'd like to configure CUPS in a way that any user on the network can connect to the printer and use it without entering credentials.
Our network is "secure" and I don't care if someone accidentally wastes a few pages.
Can you please point me to a solution? I reckon someone else may have (had) the same problem...
Sadly, searching the forum has lead me nowhere...
All the links for non-OMV CUPS installations involve changing the config file... but that's under OMVs control - so it's probably futile to change it..?
Thanks a bunch!
Oliver.
