[Samba] Access denied when trying to access printer

[David Nelson]

I am running redhat 8.0 with the standard samba package and the standard lpr
package. I can print a test page from the lpr setup program that comes with
redhat 8.0 with no problem. I have been reading the docs on the site. But
I'm still reading.
