samba - Jan 2004 - Connection refused, access denied (Windows XP trying to connect on samba's shared printer)

Jonny,

Did you ever get your shared printer issue resolved? If so, how? I'm 
having exactly the
same problem and I didn't see that anyone responded to your request for 
help on the
lists.samba.org group.

My setup and problem is pretty much the same as yours was Win XP pro can 
see printer
share on Linux  RH9.0 (kernel 2.4.20), but cannot get access once the 
drivers are configured.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mark Hougaard

I had a bunch of grief setting up HP Laser printers on AS 3 which is
virtually identical to RH 9. The first one worked, the second one didn't
and then the first one didn't work anymore. Spent a lot of hours on this
and finally got it working - here's how I did it, this might not be the
'recommended' way but it worked for me.

The redhat-config-printer tool just didn't seem to cut it. I deleted all
the printers created by that tool. I did have the postscript.ppd file
for each printer which copied up via the APW as described in the how-to.
I put a copy of the ppds in /usr/share/cups/model/ppd subdirectory.

I then used the cups web tool... http://localhost:631  (if you are
accessing from a different computer, watch the firewall settings).
>From this tool, I created the printers and then when I was all done, I
restarted smbd/nmbd (service smb restart)

Bang - they worked. 

Note - if that was your smb.conf that was originally attached, when
using cups, I don't think that you want any 'print commands' and you
will probably want a PRINT$ share - see the how-to. I would also
recommend using encrypt passwords = yes and wins support = yes

YMMV
