This is very frustrating. I have a number of print shares defined in
smb.conf. Some of the printer shares open from the windows interface
and display the correct status. Other open with the message "access
denied" but printing continues to work. I spent an hour going over
the latest smb.conf man page and found two possible solutions:
1) using "dissable spoolss = yes"
2) and "use client driver = no"
I've implemented these and, no more mixed messages on the windows
printer object. The question is Why did I have mixed results opening
these printer objects where some worked and others didn't. I'd like
to use the new rpc methods for printing but it was way to confusing to
the users to show this bogus messages.
