Hello, I have a new RH 7.2 installation (kernel 2.4.7-10) with Samba 2.2.1a and I can't print from my Win2K box. I get an "Access denied: unable to connect" error from the printer entry in Windows. The logs don't seem to be helping me. Here's my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba SMB Server interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127. bind interfaces only = Yes security = USER log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 read bmpx = No time server = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY os level = 65 preferred master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes guest account = smbuser hide dot files = No printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = bsd encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd [nec] path = /var/spool/samba user = follansbee printer = lp0 print ok = Yes Any ideas?

Add: use client driver = yes to your global section.

Sorry, it didn't work. Here's the output from the smbd log: [2001/12/17 06:06:00, 0] param/loadparm.c:lp_do_parameter (2548) Ignoring unknown parameter "use client driver" I checked the 'user client driver' section of the man page for smb.conf and its not clear whether I have a driver or not installed for this printer on the host, although I am able to print from the host machine fine with either an HP Laser Jet driver or the NEC driver. Feedback?

Isn't printing in RH 7.2 lprng, not bsd? See my notes below.

Try this: You will have to change all "lp" to your own linux printqueue, of course. The fancy print command with J allows the file name to be displayed in the queue.

Well, thanks for the suggestions, but they didn't seem to work. Still getting "Access denied: unable to connect" (Win2K and RH 7.2) Here's the new smb.conf file. Testparm says it's fine. Interestingly, when I tried to reinstall the printer, the Win2K wizard said the printer's status was "ready," but it prompted me to install the driver. I don't have the file "testprn" on my system. Should I? Note that I changed the security level to SHARE since I commented out the user = line in the printer ([nec]) section. Apologies if I'm a bit dense on this one.

You have made sure the RH firewall is not blocking you out from windows?
Post your /etc/printcap file.
Is there a real user smbuser? There is no such user on my RH 7.2 system.
ftp works well as a guest user.
I would try to use a simple print command like:
print command = echo %s > /tmp/SPOOL
and see if the print file winds up there.
The "missing" command is testprns
^
On my RH 7.2 system is it in:
/usr/bin
