samba - Aug 2009 - "access denied, unable to connect" printing error from Windows

Hi,

I am unable to print from a Windows Vista laptop to my Debian sid
desktop where the printer and samba are installed, in my home
network. In Windows Vista, the printer installed fine via the control
panel -> local network printer, and it is listed as default in the
printers section of the control panel.  When printing to that printer
from Windows Vista, nothing is printed and I see no error messages or
signs, other than the following under the printer's icon in the control
panel:

"Access denied, unable to connect"

Checking samba's /var/log/samba/log.nmbd:

  Error - should be sent to WINS server
[2009/08/14 14:39:06,  0] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:1502(process_nmb_request)
  process_nmb_request: Multihomed registration request must be directed at a
WINS server.

followed by numerous similar lines.

My /etc/samba/smb.conf is attached.  Any ideas what might be wrong would
be appreciated!  Thanks in advance.


Cheers,

Hallo, Seb,

Du meintest am 14.08.09:

No - this mailing list deletes attachements (and that's a good  
behaviour).

Viele Gruesse!
