Everyone,
Thanks for the response.
I am using RedHat 7.2, SAMBA 2.2.5
Here is what we are trying to do and the situation that results:
I have two (2) endusers with HP laptop PC that spend 3 days out of 5 in the
office. They have to connect over our internal network to a Ricoh Aficio
printer.
The endusers were added to the appropriate directories and we had tested
thoroughly with users.... the ones in office. We are also using a LEXMARK
printer without any problems. As a matter of fact, the 2 that cannot print
to the Ricoh, can print to the Lexmark.
When I choose from the Windows Desktop, <start>, <settings>, <printers>, I
follow the path to <add printer>, <select Ricoh>, <Aficio 401>
Everything works without incident so far. It appears all is set up
correctly. When I send a test print to the printer, I get nothing.
I delete the printer and proceed another route to install printer.
I go to <start>, <run>, <\\n.n.n.n/ricoh>
I get a message that says:
Before you can use printer "\\n.n.n.n/ricoh" it must be set up on your
computer. Do you want Windows to set up the printer and continue this
operation?
<yes>
The server on which the printer resides does not have the exact printer
driver installed. If you want to install the driver on your computer click
OK.
<OK>
Connecting to ricoh on \\n.n.n.n
{ swishing flashlight }
Complete operation through the Printer Wizard.
at completion, I get
Access denied, unable to connect
I have checked various log files and I do not see anything that jumps out
as an error?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

By the "sequence to add printer", do you mean
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#PRINTING ?
What do you mean by can't print? Access denied? Gobbeldy-gook?
Nothing happens?
Is there anything of interest in samba's logs? In RH installed from RPM
they should be in /var/log/samba. What version of samba are you
running? 2.2.6 has fixed a lot of print bugs.
