Hi
I'm set up Samba on a UnixWare 7.1.3 server, and had configured the printer shares.
They're all global in the [printers] section. When I log in at a Windows XP PC as root,
I'm able to print to all the printers. However, when I try to add a new printer or look at
the print queue on the Windows client side as a different user, I see 'Access denied,
unable to connect' as part of the printer name. However, sometimes I can print to the
printer. I'm a bit confused. I assume it could be a Samba or a UnixWare thing. The
pertinent lines in my smb.conf are
[global]
security = user
printcap name = lpstat
load printers = yes
[[printers]
comment = All printers
path = /var/spool/samba (directory has drwxdrwxdrwxt permissions)
browseable = no
printable = yes
print command = /usr/ucb/lpr -P %p -h -r %s (file has rx rx rx permissions)
I've tried adding 'valid users = @office' for users in the office group
When I login into UnixWare as the user (non root) I can send jobs to the Unix print
queues.
Any idea what's causing this message?
