I have a very simple setup on a Solaris 8 server, running Samba 3.0.1 (see smb.conf
below). A desktop PC running Windows 98 (SE?) happily connects to and prints to my one
shared printer, but an XP Pro laptop takes a loooong time to install the local driver
and then just says "Access denied, unable to connect".
I already told it to use a client driver and disabled spoolss. Here's my smb.cnf
file:
----------Start of smb.conf------------
[global]
workgroup = jwu
netbiosname = pvd-dat-60
security = share
dns proxy = No
wins server = <IP redacted>
# printcap name = /etc/printcap
printing = sysv
disable spoolss = Yes
#[temp]
# path = /tmp
# read only = Yes
# guest ok = Yes
[pvdpar03lz02]
comment = HP 9000hns
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = Yes
guest ok = Yes
# read only = Yes
use client driver = yes
-----------End of smb.conf---------------
(The temp section was to test whether things worked before. I will actually delte
those lines when I solve this problem. I commented out the printcap line because I
don't want to share all the printers: I have a lot configured on this Sun but use a
Windows print server to publishing them to desktop PC users.)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for everyone's time.
