samba - Mar 2004 - access 2003 clients can't print to samba 3 server (access 2000 can)

Has anyone else heard of or had any issues printing with Access 2003 to
samba servers?  Other office 2003 products print fine, and Access 2000
worked, but Access 2003 will not print to a samba server here.  In order
to get access 2003 to print, I have to change default printer to
something on a windows server, and then it works?

Anybody heard/seen anything?
Thanks,
~ Daniel

That sounds more than a little suspicious.
What sort of setup do you have?
Samba ==> CUPS?
Raw print queue or the CUPS driver?
I have had some issues printing reports from Access to some of our 
printers that claim to be PCL6 compatible ( and have PCL6 drivers ), but 
only work with the PCL5 drivers.

What happens when you try to print?

Hi all,

I am using Samba -3.0.2a with cups on SuSe 9.0. Samba PDC works fine,
but I have some problem with CUPS PDF Printer printing.
>From Linux I was able print the test page. From 2000 workstation I was
able add and print the document as root user. If I login as ordinary
user, not able to print anything (not even testing)

I received the following errors:
>From NotePad:  "A StarDocPrinter call was not issued."
>From OpenOffice: "Could not start printer.  Please check your printer
configuration

Any tips to fix this problem.


Note:

	Same setup and configuration works at my home. I was able to
print the document from Windows 2000 Client.

Maybe a permissions problem on the destination directory?
