[Samba] Printing problem

I'm unable to print from a Windows 2000 VMware machine, to a Samba 2.2.1a
host. In the "Status" line about the printer in Windows, I see "Access
denied, unable to connect". I can squeeze out a print by printing to a
file, then dumping that file to the printer in Linux. The last couple of
lines from that machine's log file are:
[2002/02/13 11:10:22, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(316)
Allowed connection from (192.168.1.21)
[2002/02/13 11:12:23, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(316)
Allowed connection from (192.168.1.21)
Should there be something, between "from" and "("?
I've got this in /etc/hosts.lpd:
vmware
("vmware" is defined in /etc/hosts as being 192.168.1.21, which is the
address of the machine.)
And this in /etc/hosts.allow:
ALL : localhost,192.168.1.
The relevant lines from smb.conf are:
[global]
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
printing = lpr
print command = echo "on printer '%p', file '%P/%s'" >> /tmp/file2 ; /usr/bin/lpr -r -P"%p" "%s"
I have lpr, not lprng. I felt lprng was too much of a configuration
nightmare, and I only have a few users (all of whom are trusted), and
nobody can reach in here from the outside.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.
