Hi, We have a Windows 2003 R2 server (Enterprise, 64-bit, SP2) and for some reason, cannot print to our samba exported printers. I can add the printer to the system, all drivers are available, but any attempt to print results in either "Printing failed when starting document" (Firefox), "Test page failed to print." when doing a test page or just a greyed out print button from MS applications (IE, word, etc). The same server can print to other printers (non-samba) and to the same samba printers if using a "local" TCP/IP port (bypassing samba and CUPS). I am obviosuly authenicated on samba when trying to print and I can access samba shares on the server that exports the printers. All other machines (XP, win 2000, including a Windows 2000 TSE) can print fine to any printer on the samba server. Increasing the logging level and analyzing the results, it seems to point to an authorization issue: [2008/04/02 17:11:50, 10] lib/util_seaccess.c:se_access_check(233) se_access_check: requested access 0x000f000c, for NT token with 17 entries and first sid S-1-5-21-1743362971-2219156043-3858894690-17208.

[2008/04/03 09:20:50, 4] printing/nt_printing.c:print_access_check(5524) access check was SUCCESS It seems like the Win2003 machine requests "f000c" whereas the other that works (WinXP) only requests "8". Let me know if it is useful to post more info from the log. The server is Solaris 9, Samba 3.0.25a, printers are CUPS imported.
