Seasons Greetings to One and All ....Hope this is the right place for this. I have just set up a samba 2.2.2 domain server (PDC) all, pretty much according to the howto's. All is working including the authentication of a win2K/SP2 box, pretty chuffed with all this actually just aquired Linux recently from a magzine. I have one problem, that is in trying to get the win2k box to add a shared printer that is connected (lpd) to the samba box, this all works with 98) and I can see it (server\lp) in the domain. With the Win2K Box I get the message "You dont have sufficient access to your machine to connet to the selected printer" after I select the printer, presumably this is good old win2k giving me some stick with regard to authorisation on my machine. I am trying to do this while logged into the domain as a root (0) smbdomain user, incidently a normal (unprivedged) login user has the same problem. I am not sure where to look with this, any help would be apprecited. Thankyou Tony

Login as a local administrator and connect to the printer once. Then all normal uses will be able to as well. chau, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.
