[Samba] Printing in w2k. Access denied, unable to connect & F ailed to open retrying

[Van Sickler, Jim]

add :done_jobs=0 to your /etc/printcap printer entries
to get rid of the Paused jobs.

search back through the archives of the last month or so;
look for disable_spoolss, guest ok=, printing=lprng,
access denied, retrying, [print$], map to guest=

read through printer_driver2.html a couple of times

A couple of the posts spell out most of what you're
looking for-good luck finding them.  They've come out
within the last couple of weeks.
