samba - Oct 2001 - 2.0.7 to 2.2.0 migration issue

Hi,

I recently upgraded my Samba 2.0.7 server to 2.2.0 because of upgrading
the hardware to Solaris 8.

I was under the impression that the pre 2.2.0 printing configuration should
need no changes but it isn't quite right.

I can print to network printers but the Printers window on my Win2K
clients show the status of all of these printers as Access Denied, unable
to connect.

Also if I want to add a new printer I used to be able to browse for a
network printer eg \\Samba Server\Printername and I would then be
prompted to install a driver locally. Win2K now fails to throw up the
list of printer manufacturers and models for me to select the correct
one.

The Win2K machine has not been changed in any way, only the Samba
side.

I attach my smb.conf file and look forward to any suggestions.

Thanks,

Bob.

See the new 2.2.2 release and the new paramaters it contains to allow
the old-style printing method.  Do however consider the newer
arrangement, its more like NT and is (apparently) easier to administer -
driver download on demand.
