[Samba] Vista to Samba maping LPT ports

[John Duthie]

I am currently testing our company's software with Vista RC-1
and I've run into a snag I cannot Authenticate a Printer connection to a
Samba server on a dos prompt
I can connect to the printer using the GUI for windows printing
But i Cannot map the printer to an LPT port

Every windows out there will connect to this box , from 95 thru to 2000, XP
and even Server 2003. But not Vista (as an admin user of course)

Am I doing somthing wrong with samba ?


root at svl:~# smbd -V
Version 3.0.23d


C:\Users\John>net use  h: \\svl\z-public
The command completed successfully.


C:\Users\John>net use lpt1 \\svl\prt112
The password is invalid for \\svl\prt112.

Enter the user name for 'svl': samba
Enter the password for svl:
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.
