Hi,  

Michael Lueck



    I'm answering my 'own' question just be recorded
at mail list archives, so it remains in the public
domain. :)

    It is not the problem! :) When the printer was added
in the Win Client, a Access Denied message appears, so I
thought the problem was the 'auth system'. In fact it it
related but, when using drivers in the client not in the
server, the smb.conf must have a 'use client driver = yes'.

    Problem solved, many thanks to Michael Lueck that
help me to discover what is going on! With this 'we'
also avoid a new 'Win98' on the network! :)

    The problem is the CUPS-api integration and the libs,
just a little bit of patience and the share will appear.

    Issue is related with a missing parameter (look above),
just it! :)
