[Samba] Re: Need solution to Printers window access denied, unableto connect message.

[Ronald]

To All,
           I had this same problem and did the use client driver = yes. but
the thing is now it takes a while to load up the properties of the printer.
it used to load up right away and now its takes about 5-10 secs. anyone know
why that is?
also i see this in the logs
rpc_client/cli_spoolss_notify.c:spoolss_connect_to_client

I had the same problem after upgrading to 2.2.7.  You have to add:

use client driver = yes

Either globally or for the individual printer share.

Read the section on the above in the man page for smb.conf for an
explanation.

Well, yes, we've deployed Linux and we're seeing reduced costs and
increased functionality. But our competitors? Linux might be bad for
them. Real bad. Our competitors should stick with what they have
right now.
