Hi, I have a Win2k client that should be able to print to a printer connected to a SuSE 8.1 Linux box. The situation: - 'root' is able to print from Win2k to the Linux, user 'tim' is not. - Both, 'root' and 'tim' have their home directories visible and accessible on the Win2k. - User acounts on Win2k and Linux are the same: 'root', 'tim' with identical passwords on both machines. - Both, 'root' and 'tim' have been added to the smbpasswd file. - The smb.log file (level 10) has been filled with a load of messages I simply don't know how to interpret, but there is something like "access denied". I just can't figure why? - The printer has been made browsable = yes and guest ok = yes - The printer is visible to Win2k users; 'root' and 'tim'. Does anyone have a good idea what else could be wrong that only 'root' is allowed to print but 'tim' is not? Cheers Tim
