[Samba] Cups printing works but status is always Access Denied

I have a RedHat 9 installation running XFS.
Cups 1.1.17-13 is installed

I have compiled and installed Samba 2.2.8a and everything appears to be
working apart from a minor printing problem.
After I have installed a printer on my Win2K workstation I can print via
samba to the cups printer using the windows PCL print driver and it works
fine.
However the printer status is always 'Access denied, unable to connect'.

I get the following entries in the log file for my machine :-

[2003/06/10 12:28:24, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_printername_ok(388)
  Unable to get printer status for

[Samba] Cups printing works but status is always Access Denied

Sounds like you need the use client driver = yes hack in smb.conf, or
preferably, look into setting up print$ and automatic driver download.
man smb.conf for use client driver explains what appears to be your
problem in some detail.

Good luck,

[Samba] Cups printing works but status is always Access Denied

I use Cups here and the install has been with out fail.  Some oddities with XP
but I figure that is cause I am not forking the doe out, no worries thou, it all
works fabulously well.  I have Caldera 3.1.1  with CUPS 1.1.19.   Also with the
smb
My suggestion is to use these settings:

[global] 
        printer admin = karl
        printing = cups
        printcap name = lpstat (this is the proper one per some cups document I
read)
        load printers = yes

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        guest ok = yes
        browseable = no
        public = yes
        writable = no
        printable = yes
        printer admin = (user or @group name)

If you would like to add drivers put this in:

[print$]
        comment = Printer Drivers
        path = /etc/samba.d/drivers (path were driver will be located)
        guest ok = no
        write list = (user or @group name)
        writable = no
        browsable = yes

Review this for the right directories to setup and the cool cups utility to add
drivers.  A little time is required and so smooth when done.

Hope that assists you.
