I have Samba 2.2.8a on my Red Hat 9 as the Primary
Domain Controller.
I can print everything pretty well from my Red Hat 9
box.
I can logon to Samba-controlled domain METRAN from my
XP boxes, and I can also
see the shared printer - smbLPR, which is a HP
LaserJet 4si. But the status
of the shared printer is "Access denied, unable to
connect".
If I double click it, XP says:
A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents
you from connecting to
this print queue. Please contact your system
administrator.
I followed the instructions at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319939 and
enabled point and print. But the problem remains.
Here is the part of my smb.conf which has to do with
the printer setting.
Please note that I have to use lpr.cups on my Red Hat
system to print
anything. lpr does not work.
[smbLPR]
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
printing = bsd
print command = lpr.cups -P%p -r %s
printer name = mySambaPrinter
Any idea on how to fix this?
