samba - Aug 2002 - 2.2.5, Sol 2.8, W2k - Printers...Status: Access Denied unable to connect - ??

hi

When I highlight a printer icon in Win 2K, the Status bar shows
      Status: Access Denied, Unable to connect.

It shows this for all samba printers.

I can print a test page even though it shows access denied.

Anyone know how to fix this?

thanks.
Dennis

I get the exact same message except it won't print also.
Would greatly appreciate some help.

I am also having this exact problem, was just about to mail the list and ask
about it.
Exactly the same setup - Samba 2.2.5, Solaris 8, Win2k.

can print test page also.

Only thing I have to add is that all my HP printers are affected, but
not my single solitary  Epson printer.

Samba gurus please help!

Is it fixed, or just avoided?
I thougth that 'disable spoolss'  meant that  you disable the ability
to automatically download printer drivers from Samba.

Does anyone know if this is correct??

thanks

Hey Dennis thanks for the information.

I really would like the ability to download drivers.
Can't believe no-one else has this problem.

thanks again

-pete.




Just avoided...
I don't download drivers anyway....although I wish I could.

BTW, the error message I descibed is in the smb.conf html doc under the
description for
"disable spoolss"

I also got a reply from someone (don't have the reply handy) that
mentioned changing the
"use client driver" parameter setting although I left mine at its
default.
