Have you tried putting "use client driver = yes" in the [Samsung] section? I see you have it under [printers] but you may need it under each printer. The "user client driver = yes" is needed to stop Windows from saying "Access denied, unable to connect", although it's only cosmetic and won't stop people from being able to print. If you can map drives and install the printer then you are not having authentication issues and you don't need an account on the server anyways since you have guest = ok and public = yes in your [printers] and [Samsung] sections.
Without being able to sit down at the workstations having problems, I would lean towards this being a CUPS issue or a problem with the Samba to CUPS printing process. Can you list your cups config files? The 2 I want to see in particular are mime.convs and mime.types. In Redhat they are in /etc/cups/ Sorry that isn't much help, I find it much harder to solve problems without being there myself. :) -- Trevor Lauder Web: http://www.thelauders.net E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Yes, remember it all worked fine previously with the old Deskjet?
