Hi all,

I am new to this list, but have been struggling with the following problem
for a while:

I have samba as PDC working fine except that on xp sp2 it is not possible to
connect to any of the printers installed on samba.
It says something like " the policy settings on this machine prevents
connecting to this printer".
However I have not set any policy settings on that xp box.

How can fix this?

David suggested this but no luck as I get a different message now:

"Hi Csaba,
  You need to set the Point and Print functionality for your domain. If it
remains unset Windows interprets that as "not allowed".

  See this Microsoft KB article for more details:

regards
David"

Now I am getting this:

After playing with the settings you mentioned now I am getting a different
message when trying to connect to a printer:
"You do not have enough rights to connect to the selected printer".

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Csaba
