Not sure what version of samba you are running (I'm running 3.0.9-r1), but I almost exactly copied the config files from the samba howto for a small business network (chapter 4 or 5) and it worked like a champ on the first try. Then again, my file/print server is running Gentoo. Are you sure that your config files are correct? Do you have the permissions setup correctly (ie through a guest or something)? -Jared

I'm floundering trying to get my fedora 3 machine to act as a print server for an WinXP machine. The linux box is freshly built, and I just moved my printer from my redhat 9 machine.
What works:
1. Local printing. It's a USB printer, and it worked just fine from the CUPS setup.
What doesn't:
1. I can't "add printer" on the WinXP machine.
2. When I start the smb daemon, I get the following in the smbd log:
[2005/01/22 18:14:51, 0] printing/nt_printing.c:nt_printing_init(383) nt_printing_init: error checking published printers: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
This looks like the problem to me, but I'm not sure. When I try to add the printer in WinXP, I get a popup "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed."
So, I'm stuck. (And under pressure -- my wife can't print!)
Any advice?
Thanks, Bill
