Hi
(Sorry about the long post )
I have a Linux server running Red Hat 7.1. Connected to that machine I have an HP Laserjet 6P which I can print to just fine locally. I have several shares and I can view them from my Windows 200 clients - no problem.
However when I try and setup a printer on my windows 2000 machine I get "Access denied". I can see the printer, and when I try and connect it says the server does not have the correct drivers and installs the 6P drivers on my Windows machine. Trying to open the printer then gives me the "Access denied error".
I am not sure what can be wrong as Samba and the encrypted authentication is obviously working as I can see my shared directories.
My smb config is:
[global]
server string = Linux Samba Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
max log size = 50
preferred master = True
dns proxy = No
lock dir = /var/lock/samba
guest account = smbuser
printing = lprng
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/lpd/laserjet
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[laserjet]
comment = Laserjet on Blackmax
path = /var/spool/lpd/laserjet
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = laserjet
printing = lprng
[rhowes]
comment = rhowes Home
path = /home/rhowes
valid users = rhowes root
read only = No
[public]
comment = Public stuff
path = /home/public
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
Any help would be appreciated. Also is there anything special I need to do regarding setup of the printer on the Win2K machine?
Regards,
Richard
