samba - Dec 2004 - Printer permissions from W2K

Hey all...

I am trying to connect to a Epson FX-85 24-pin printer on my file/print/samba
server. I am running SuSE 9.1/Samba 3.0.2a with CUPS as the print spool. When I
try to connect to the printer from W2K land, I get this error:
"Permission denied"

I am at a loss as to where to look (sorry I dont have my smb.conf file posted. I
am away from home for a couple of days). ALl else (drive mapping to W2K, smbfs
mounting) works great. But trying to map a linux printer to WIndows has been the
last great hangup.

Any suggstions?

Joe

Get a wig as you will be pulling your hair out to get your "Hello,
World!" first printer to work 100%. ;-)

I documented my findings about printing and the annoying "Access
Denied" I was experiencing in this doc. It assumes you desire to use CUPS
in RAW mode and Windows drivers on the clients to produce the
printer-read data.

The windows user connecting to printer share don't have the correct
permissions for printing...

Check the printer spool directory for guest permissions..

Something like this would work : chmod -R 777 /var/spool/samba
