samba - Dec 2002 - Print queue not viewable from Windows XP

I am using Samba PDC LDAP box as a file and print server on our local 
network.

The printer is loaded and I can print on it, using the usual way:

    printcap name = /etc/printcap
    load printers = yes

    printing = lprng

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = no
    guest ok = no
    writable = no
#   public = yes
    printable = yes

I can print to this queue from an Windows XP Professional workstation, 
as well as from other systems (Windows 98,...), but I can not view the 
print queue from the XP.

I can view the queue from W98, remove a job, but, XP says when I try to 
Open the Printer, on its top bar:

lp on server Access denied, unable to connect

Does anybody else have the same problem? Can somebody help me solving it?

In my experiments I used the XP and the W98 computers as a workgroup 
members, but the same problem happens with a Windows 2000 Professional 
workstation as a Domain member.

Not forgetting to mention: defining of lpr, lpq and lprm in the smb.conf 
in the usual way did not help.

Yes, thank you very much. This one has been bothering me for months. The 
magical word was

use client driver = yes

I did not have to put the rest in /etc/ldp.perms. Do I need that if I 
want to enable users to clear others leftovers in the printer spool?
Or maybe it can be done with
create mask = 0777?

Actually, I suspect you need to fool with lpd.perms to allow other users to
delete print jobs. Unless of course you have guest logins for the printer
share.
