Everyone,
Thanks for the response.
I am using RedHat 7.2, SAMBA 2.2.5
Here is what we are trying to do and the situation that results:
I have two (2) endusers with HP laptop PC that spend 3 days out of 5 in the
office. They have to connect over our internal network to a Ricoh Aficio
printer.
The endusers were added to the appropriate directories and we had tested
thoroughly with users.... the ones in office. We are also using a LEXMARK
printer without any problems. As a matter of fact, the 2 that cannot print
to the Ricoh, can print to the Lexmark.
When I choose from the Windows Desktop, <start>, <settings>,
<printers>, I
follow the path to <add printer>, <select Ricoh>, <Aficio 401>
Everything works without incident so far. It appears all is set up
correctly. When I send a test print to the printer, I get nothing.
I delete the printer and proceed another route to install printer.
I go to <start>, <run>, <\\n.n.n.n/ricoh>
I get a message that says:
Before you can use printer "\\n.n.n.n/ricoh" it must be set up on your
computer. Do you want Windows to set up the printer and continue this
operation?
<yes>
The server on which the printer resides does not have the exact printer
driver installed. If you want to install the driver on your computer click
OK.
<OK>
Connecting to ricoh on \\n.n.n.n
{ swishing flashlight }
Complete operation through the Printer Wizard.
at completion, I get
Access denied, unable to connect
I have checked various log files and I do not see anything that jumps out
as an error?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

By the "sequence to add printer", do you mean
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#PRINTING ?
What do you mean by can't print? Access denied? Gobbeldy-gook?
Nothing happens?
Is there anything of interest in samba's logs? In RH installed from RPM
they should be in /var/log/samba. What version of samba are you
running? 2.2.6 has fixed a lot of print bugs.

smb.conf file for Ricoh above.
We are novices with this .... how difficult to upgrade?

So everyone can print to the Ricoh _except_ for these two? What's your
smb.conf look like? Also, seeing as how you've already upgraded to
2.2.5 on RH, you should bump up to samba 2.2.6...
"This is the latest stable release of Samba and the last planned
release of the Samba 2.2. branch. This is the version that all
production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes."
