Please check the following:-
1) Permission on /var/lib/samba/driver folder. a. start --> run --> //servername/print$ (in windows client machine) b. please make sure you have permission to create file and folders on drivers/WX3286/3 If you have then the permission is fine. Else please check the permission on the driver folder. 2) Add the following on the smb.conf file so that you can upload the [print$] Write list = Administrator, xyz 3) try to upload the drivers on the cups server by doing the following:- a. start --> run --> //servername b. click on printers and faxes c. right click on your printer d. Click advance tab and upload the driver. I had similar problems and I fixed it with above steps. Hope this will be some help.

Akshay Lamba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All, I'm sure this has been done multitude of times, somehow I don't seem to be able to get it though. I have setup a print server (well basically just sharing a printer) on a ubuntu box. While the printer works just fine on the ubuntu machine, and I have shared it using samba (pretty much just used the defaults in smb.conf). However, when I access the printer from a windows client, it is able to open the share just fine (post authentication), I am able to "connect" the printer to the windows box, however, it then gives me a authentication failure error. So a print does not go through. Any pointers would be appreciated. Best, Akshay _____ Have a burning question?
