i'm having a problem trying to print to a windows xp
shared printer through samba/cups.

my setup is: hp laserjet connected to winXp, shared.
linux machine running samba 3.01, cups 1.1.20, same
workgroup.

i cannot find the printer/print through kde. when i
try 
DEVICE_URI=smb://winxp/LaserJet smbspool 0 guest test
1 "" file
i get 
failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
ERROR:  Connection failed with error
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
ERROR: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in
60 seconds...


however, using smbclient:
smbclient //winxp/LaserJet -N -c "print file"
works...

how can i enable printing through smbspool?

thanx
aviv
