[Samba] Need solution to Printers window access denied, unable to connect message.

[Tim Kubricht]

Hi,

      I hope this is the right list to submit this request to

      I have the following problem with samba 2.2.2 that I upgraded to 
samba 2.2.7 to try to see if the problem
      would go away. But I still have the following problem:

          When I open the Start->Settings->Printers window
          It shows the printers that I have connected to from the samba 
print server  printer_name on samba_ip_address
          It shows <opening>  at 1st then changes to <access denied, unable 
to connect>
          and never shows the ready message that I used to get from a samba 
1.9.15p8 server that I updated.

          * Can someone help me to get rid of the access denied messages 
from the Printers window?

      The following is what I have:

             My OS is Solaris 8 my PCs are either WinNT4 or Win2000
             I have set up smb.conf as you can see below
             With it I can use dos to run net view and it works as expected
             I can open Network Neighborhood and find my samba print server 
and it will list all the printer shares
             along with the Printers folder. If I double click the Printers 
folder:
             I can get a list of all the printers and the number of 
documents that are currently being printed on each
             printer and If I double-click on a specific printer I can get 
the name of the job and person that is printing
             on the queue.   This works as expected.  I did not see this 
error in any of the Archives or the troubleshooting
             section that I found or in any of the 3 books I have.   I need 
your expertise in solving this feature.

Thanks,
Tim
