[Samba] Simple configuration question

Hi All

I have a Redhat 7.3 server which has samba-2.2.3a-6 installed (default
version from RH7.3 installation).

I have setup two shares and one printer. Two users can connect to samba and
they have been added to /etc/samba/smbpasswd. Apart from the smb.conf file
(shown below) no other changes have been made to the system.

The problem is that although both users can use the shares, neither user can
connect to the printer. The samba clients are Windows-XP Professional and
the printer can be setup easily enough, but it shows a status of "Error:
unable to connect, access is denied".

The printer works fine from the Redhat 7.3 server.

Any ideas? Smb.conf shown below...

Regards
Alan Deadman
