[Samba] access denied on printing from win2k?

Hi,
I'm running samba 2.2.1a (RPM install) on RedHat 7.2
I've connected a Canon LBP-8 IV laserprinter to the network via a HP
Jetdirect box.
I've configured the printer within linux and printing goes fine.
Now I'm trying to access the printer via samba from my win2k clients. Now,
the problem is: When I'm trying to print to the printer (e.g. a testpage) I
get the message "Test page failed to print. <SNIP> Unable to create a print
job."
Also, it takes a while before the printer gets initialized.
I guess this snippet from the log has something to do with it:
"
[2002/02/22 15:06:15, 0] printing/printing.c:print_job_start(926)
print_job_start: insufficient permissions to open spool file
/var/spool/lpd/printer01/smbprn.s9gmRw.
"
This is (part of) my smb.conf
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
guest ok = yes
[printer01]
path = /var/spool/lpd/printer01
printer name = printer01
writable = yes
public = yes
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
I guess I need to set the correct permissions, but I don't know how (and to
what?).
Can anybody help?
Best Regard,
Remco
