samba - Mar 2002 - Access Denied for printer status

HI
  I have just set up a server w/RH 7.2 and my Samba installation is *mostly*
working.  I am sharing files OK and printing but when a Windoze 2000 client
tries to get printer status (the printers control panel info) it displays the
message


"Access Denied, Unable to connect!"

The same client can browse to, and print to, the printers in question.

I can "lpq -S <name> -P <name>" from Cygwin, so I assume
that the problem is in Samba and not in the underlying printer support.

My configuration is:

samba is v2.2.1a
printcap is used for printer defs
LPRng-3.7.4
Kernel 2.4.7-10

Any help greatly appreciated!

Upgraded to 2.2.2 (or wait for 2.2.4) and try "use client driver =
yes"
assuming that you are not installing the printer drivers on the server.
Or you can try "disable spoolss = yes" in [global] if you don't
want to
serve any printer drivers from samba box.
