[Samba] Samba and printers and god knows what else...

Okay.. this is REALLY starting to p*** me off here!

Attached is my smb.conf file:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/11/21 18:09:25

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = PENGUINIX
        guest account = guest
        wins support = Yes

[joec]
        comment = Personal network share
        path = /home/joec/smb_share
        read only = No

[peggyc]
        comment = Personal network share
        path = /home/peggyc/smb_share
        read only = No

[printer1]
        path = /var/spool/lp1
        hosts allow = 192.168.2.101
        min print space = 2000
        printable = Yes
        printing = bsd
        print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s

I can see my (printer/disk) shares on linux land and from w2k land.

When I go to my w2k box, I can see the printer (printer1), and I have
the correct printer drivers installed. When I double click on the icon
to try a test page, I get the following error:
"printer1 on Clyde Access Denied, unable to connect"

When I attmept to test through smbclient, I get:
smb: \> print quay.txt
Error opening local file quay.txt

The previous fix sent to me to check the Adobe drivers had no effect.
This is simply an access/permissions issue. I am using BSD as my printer
spool mechanism.

Any suggestions? 

Joe
