Hello List. I am having a very interesting problem with my samba server printer setup. Some background , the samba server is Suse Enterprise 9 (x86_64 platform) , we are running samba-3.0.26a-0.7 , with a connection to an openldap and sharing the printers via cupsd . File sharing is working properly , so it's smooth sailing on that end , but the printing is acting up . some users are able to print to some printers while others sitting right next to them and belonging to the same group in the ldap , get an error of no permissions. smb.conf configuration for printers is ; [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = yes create mask = 0666 browseable = no guest ok = no public = yes [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = yes guest ok = yes printable = no Also i see in the cups error log this line over and over E [19/Jun/2008:09:37:37 +0100] get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! Anyone got any idea ? We've been plagued with this issue for several days now .

But that would lock a person from accessing his files - and that is not the problem people can access the files , but have problem only with some printers .
