[Samba] Access denied, unable to connect to my printer

[Neil Aggarwal]

Jason:

I did what you suggested (Fedora definitely is using cups).
The printer no longer says that it is unable to connect, but now 
when I try to print a test page, I see this message in 
/var/log/cups/error_log:

I [30/Dec/2003:16:35:16 -0600] Adding start banner page "none" to job 3.
I [30/Dec/2003:16:35:16 -0600] Adding end banner page "none" to job 3.
I [30/Dec/2003:16:35:16 -0600] Job 3 queued on 'printer' by 'neil'.
E [30/Dec/2003:16:35:16 -0600] Unable to convert file 0 to printable
format for job 3!
I [30/Dec/2003:16:35:16 -0600] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript
installed?
I [30/Dec/2003:16:35:16 -0600] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to
"debug".

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks,
	Neil
