Hi folks;

Not sure what's going on here....

Running 3.0.14a here, with a fairly default config.  

Base OS is FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE.

FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #11: Fri Apr  8 09:48:24 CDT 2005     karl at FS.denninger.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KSD-SMP 

Here's the output from "testparm"


Load smb config files from /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"

[pics]

	path = /pics
	valid users = system, karl
	read only = No
	create mask = 0765


Ok, now the problem...

Everything works correctly EXCEPT that I cannot see the contents of a print
queue.  I can browse printers (as I specified that was ok), I can connect to
them, <AND I CAN PRINT>.

However, the status comes up as "access denied, unable to connect" when I
look at it from an XP workstation that is signed on and connected to the
printer.  I am completely unable to view the print queue.  Obviously I can't
remove a print job either, since I can't see them.

Local viewing of the queue from Unix works (e.g. "lpq -PLaser" does the
expected thing, and produces the expected output)

Any ideas what I've done wrong?  Read the FAQ and install instructions, I
can't see anything obviously screwed up - and everything else - including
printing itself - works ....

Thanks!
