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]"
Processing section "[faxserver]"
Processing section "[pics]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC

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!
