samba - Jun 2002 - Printer Problems (Access Denied)

I've seen this issue asked about and asked about in the archives,
unfortunately I can't seem to find a real solution only people's
theories.
The issue involves a 2.2.5 Samba server acting as a member print server in
a Windows 2000 domain.

I can add printers from the server to clients in the domain and then
print. The issue comes when I try and view/manage the print queue from
Windows. I get error saying "Access denied, unable to connect."
I've tried
adding my account as a printer admin but no luck. The funny thing is that
I can see the print queue using "net print". Any help would be nice.

My smb.conf is listed below.

Thanks,

Mike

Joel

chmod 0744 /inst/samba-2.0.7/var/printers

in [printers]
guest ok = yes

try it again - if it doesn't work:

Look at my earlier (today) post RE: [Samba] Samba 2.2.5 and printers
about the guest user setup

I don't see printer admin = myaccount in your [global]. I had this problem 
from Win2K/XP as well, but adding that line and then placing my group there 
fixed it. EG: printer admin = @mygroup
