Hi,
the "access denied" message might have so many reasons ...
- First of all, the "printer admin" parameter is a global parameter.
When you place it in the printers section, it does not function.
- Then you don't have an "guest account" parameter. That means, if
you are not
root - you are "nobody". Make shure, that this user has the rights to
do what
you're expecting him to do.
- Do you have driver installed for your printer?
- You could try a higher log level (e.g. smbd -D 10) to get more info in your
logs.
- In a simply enviroment like yours you could use a username map for testing:
E.g. username map = /etc/samba/username.map
Where the username.map looks like this:
root = *
Now everyone becomes printer admin. This might help do come closer to the
problem.
Bye,
Martin
