[Samba] Prints ok, but says "Access denied, unable to connect". win2k and samba 2.2.1a
I have a small Samba 2.2.1a plus Win2k workgroup. Samba is running on Redhat 7.2. There is a networked laserjet 5000 using a static IP which I can print to successfuly from the linux box, and from the win2k workstations via the queue on the linux box. The weird thing is that, on the win2k worksations, if I double click on the printer icon the status of the printer is reported as "Access denied, unable to connect". Yet it works??? Any ideas. Here's part of the smb.conf: [public] path = /usr/local/share/public public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 # If you want users samba doesn't recognize to be mapped to a guest user map to guest = bad user # A restricted directory for accounting files. [accounting] comment = Accounting Share path = /usr/local/share/accounting valid users = kferrone,rliu,ldelvecchio public = no writable = yes printable = no # A administrative logon for backups [private] comment = SFB Private Directories path = /home valid users = jbailey public = no writable = no printable =no browseable=no # NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to # specifically define each individual printer [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes valid users = %S # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes public = yes ...snip Thanks for any suggestions you may have. /R __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Randy, You will need to add use client driver = yes to the smb.conf file, or install the printer drivers so the W2K workstations can download the driver from the sever. Hope this helps.
