Hi
Having switched my Samba server from a Solaris box to a RHEL3 Linux box
I cannot get printing to work. Linux box is using CUPS to reference
various network available printers. Printer drivers have been made
available from the Samba server itself under print$. The Samba version
is 3.0.9-1.3E.13.2 (the default with RHEL3) and CUPS is 1.1.17-13.3.43
(again the RHEL3 default)
[print$]
comment = Printer Driver Download Area
path = /etc/samba/drivers
admin users = root, lansley, blansle
write list = root, lansley, blansle
read only = No
create mask = 0644
guest ok = Yes
[printers]
comment = All printers
path = /var/samba/spool
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
Printers are configured on Win XP clients using rundll32,PrintUIEntry
/in /n \\sambaserver\printername
Printers all show up as available and ready but test page print results
in a "Access is denied" message.
Accessing "homes" shares from the same Samba server work fine so user
authentication does appear to be working.
I've verified that the path in print$ and printers is valid and accessible.
Any clues?
Cheers,
Bob
