[Samba] Test page failed to print. Would you to like ......? Access is denied.

[Jeff Gardiner]

Hello all, I've gotten the printing subsytem almost working - I think.  I am 
able to install my print drivers to the server IAW the instructions found 
here: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html

The drivers are being installed to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86 IAW 
/etc/samba/smb.conf by following the instructions above

This line specifically seems to do it:

[print$]
path = /etc/samba/drivers

This shows up in my windows client as \\server\print$\W32X86\3

The printers show up in \\server\Printers.  However, although I can right 
click the printer the printer and get the "properties box to pop up, I cannot 
get the Test Page to print.  I get the error:

Test page failed to print.  Would you like to view the print trouble shooter 
for assistance?  Access is denied.

Also, these strange errors show up in /var/log/samba/

.... ad infinitum

The spooling dir has permissions:
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     bin           512 Nov 12 16:14 .
drwxr-xr-x   17 root     bin           512 Aug 28 11:39 ..

Can anyone point me in the right direction to solving this.  It feels like a 
permissions issue somehow.  I've included an edited smb.conf file.

Let me know if more information would be helpful:

my file /etc/samba/lib/printcap looks like this:

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Jeff
