When was the last up2date run? Things are moving so quickly these days, that you may have encountered a bug that has already been fixed in an update. cups has been updated 4 times since FC3 release. samba has been updated 2 times since FC3 release. selinux-policy-targeted has been updated 9 times since FC3 release.

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
