Hello, I have a new RH 7.2 installation (kernel 2.4.7-10) with Samba 2.2.1a and I can't print from my Win2K box. I get an "Access denied: unable to connect" error from the printer entry in Windows.

I need info about how to configure samba server and the windows (2000) client to use a printer on the samba server machine.

I'm stuck. I have Samba running on my Red Hat 7.2 Linux box. I can mount by remote dirctory on the Linux box via Samba. But I can't print to the Linux printer.

I've clicked on the Samba printer name and configured a Win98 printer.

Hello, I have samba set up on a solaris 8 box. I set up a printer using an lpr port.
