[Samba] Connection refused, access denied (Windows XP trying to connect on samba's shared printer)
Hi, I am trying to connect to a linux printer from a windows XP machine. I am getting the following error message Connection refused, access denied (Windows XP trying to connect on samba's shared printer) I am unable to print anything and I also tried changing the samba server config file by adding use client driver as suggested in the mailing list. But the printer application freezes on doing this. Can anyone please suggest something? I am logging in as one of the samba users and I am also able to access shared folders. I am including parts of smb.conf below. printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes # use client driver = yes # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes public=yes
