[Samba] Windows 2000 printing to public printer

[Etienne Tourigny]

Greetings,

I have setup a Linux Samba server with guest access to the printers and
a share (/tmp).  I can access the folder share from a Windows 2000
Workstation with the guest user all right.  

However, when I try to access the printer I get "Access denied, unable
to connect".  The samba log for this machine shows the following error:

----------
[2003/02/07 18:07:14, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(251)
  luna (192.168.69.3) couldn't find service
::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d}
----------

I have found that the service mentioned is the printer in the Windows
registry.

If I set log level to 3 I get the following relevant errors:

----------

However I can access the printer from a Windows 98 station and print.
This behavior has been reproduced with Mandrake 8.2(samba 2.2.3-10) and
RedHat 7.3(samba 2.2.7) with Windows 2000 Professional 2195.   I have
also tried an older version of samba(2.2.2) to the same avail.  I get
the same results when using USER security.

Here is my smb.conf:

----------
[global]
	workgroup = GROUPE
	server string = Samba Server (gaia)
	security = SHARE
	log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
	log level = 3
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	dns proxy = No
	guest account = pcguest
	hosts allow = 192.168.69. 127.

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	guest ok = Yes
	printable = Yes
 	browseable = No

[tmp]
   path = /tmp
   public = yes
   writable = no
   printable = no

Any help would be appreciated.
