(Sorry for the double post, forgot to add a subject last time).

Hi, I'm setting up a test box with a newer version of samba (2.2.1a) than 
we were running previously.

The problem I'm having is when I try to view the queue from a Windows 
client, I get the message "Access Denied, unable to connect".

I've checked the permissions on the queue, and the logs aren't showing 
anything. Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

Here is my smb.conf:

=======================================

[global]
   workgroup = dis_css
   server string = Samba Test Server
   hosts allow = 131.181.124.
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = no
   printing = bsd
   path = /var/spool/lpd/distributed
   guest account = pcprint
   log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
   max log size = 50
   security = share
   encrypt passwords = yes
   smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
; socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   interfaces = 131.181.124.63/24 131.181.124.47/24
   local master = no
   os level = 0
   domain master = no
   preferred master = no
   wins support = no
   wins server = 131.181.254.115
   dns proxy = yes
   include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb_printers_import.
; include = /usr/local/samba/lib/shares.smb.conf

[public]
   path = /tmp
   public = yes
   only guest = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
=======================================

And here is a section of my printers import file:

=======================================

[itsgp_css1]
     printer = itsgp_css1
     path = /qut_spool/samba/distributed/itsgp_css1
     force user = pcprint
     force group = pcprint
     browseable = yes
     printable = yes
     public =yes
     writable =yes
     create mode = 0700
     lprm command =
     lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p
     print command = /usr/bin/umask 077;/usr/bin/echo 
%T:%L:%s:%p:%a:%m:%U:%M:%I: %u >> /usr/local/samba/DIRS/logs/smb.current; 
/usr/bin/lpr -r -v -J"%U" -P%p %s
;
=======================================
