There's another thread going on regarding printing problems from a windows client to a linux host running CUPS and Samba.
I am having almost the exact same problem, though my windows client is an instance of VMWare running Windows as a guest OS with linux (sid) as the host OS. Like the other poster, I can see the printers in the browse list, but receive an "access denied" message when trying to actually use it. I can print fine from linux and can browse samba shares just fine from windows. Looking at my samba logs, it's complaining that I don't have an smbpasswd file, so I created one which stopped the log messages, but still doesn't allow me to print from my windows client. Two questions: First, anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Second, this is for my home network, where I don't care about internal security. If there's a file or three that I can simply chmod 777 and be done with it, that's an acceptable (though not preferable) solution as well. Can this be done? Thanks. --kurt
