[Samba] WinY2k Access Denied on Printing

[Konkol, Josh]

What is your printer admin set to ??  

What is your security set to ??

I had a problem with 2.2.4 where anyone who fell into the category of
printer admin was denied access to the properties of the printer BUT it only
happened to w2k and xp, NT worked fine. I realize this isn't the same error
but it's worth a try.

Ok, i modified one of my queues -
[grdps]
        comment = Grand Rapids Optra Laser Printer
        path =  /var/spool/samba/grdps
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes

ls -l /var/spool/samba
total 0
drwxrwxrwt    2 root     wheel           6 May 17 11:42 grdps

Restarted smbd, and it does the same thing.

I really appreciate the help, but i think your missing some important 
facts -

1. UNIX printing works flawlessly (this box is an lpd server for lots of 
unix clients).
2. Samba printing from both Win9x and WinY2k worked flawlessly under 
2.2.1a, for a long time.
3. Printing does work, but only for awhile. And ONLY WinY2k clients are 
effected, Win9x clients continue to print just fine
