I struggled with this recently & finally got it working. I could never get it to print using the Windows printer drivers for my printer (an HP 960C). After reading a lot of docs & howtos, I stumbled onto a recommendation for using the "generic" postscript printer driver from ADOBE for Windows. I installed that and it started working perfectly. You might give this a try...or try one of he Postscript drivers in Windows. I know it is supposed to work the other way, but I couldn't get it going....Gday y'all, Im trying to share a CUPS printer over samba. I can see the printer, but when i try to print to it from a windows box i get the message "Access Denied, Cannot connect.".I seem to be able to print a test page from the http config tool. This same problem hapened with lpd. I am running Debian GNU/LINUX 3.0 (woody) with an Epson Stylus Color 600 on /dev/lp0. I have attached my smb.conf file. Cheers, Chris
Your smb.conf looks reasonable, but I am not an expert. These are the difference from my smb.conf that I see:
1. You might want to put "load printers = yes" in the [global] section.
2. I have "security = user" in my [global] section. This might affect what you are seeing because of your "valid users" line in your [printers] section. If you use "user" level security, make sure each user has an account and can access their account via a samba connection. This will take some fiddling around with the smbpasswd file.
3. I think the "printcap name" parameter should be the location of your printcap file... usually in /etc. I use the following for princap name:
printcap name = /etc/printcap.cups
4. FYI, Here is the [printers] section from my smb.conf:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /tmp
printable = yes
public = no
writable = no
create mode = 0700
HTH,
