Win2K Printer "Access Denied" Error

[jfollansbee at att.net]

Well, thanks for the suggestions, but they didn't seem 
to work. Still getting "Access denied: unable to 
connect" (Win2K and RH 7.2) Here's the new smb.conf 
file. Testparm says it's fine. Interestingly, when I 
tried to reinstall the printer, the Win2K wizard said 
the printer's status was "ready," but it prompted me to 
install the driver.

I don't have the file "testprn" on my system. Should I? 
Note that I changed the security level to SHARE since I 
commented out the user = line in the printer ([nec]) 
section. Apologies if I'm a bit dense on this one.

Thanks for your patience and help.
