Running Samba 2.28 on a SuSE Linux Pro 9.0 system, equipped with VMware
Workstation 4. A Windows 2000 Pro guest OS is installed in VMware.
Printing from the W2K OS doesn't work. I was able to add the printer as
a network printer OK (it appears as a network printer when using My
Network Places to browse to the Linux Samba server), but the printer
status reads Access Denied, Unable to Attach after it is installed.
Samba is otherwise working fine between Linux and the VMware Windows
system. In Windows I mapped Samba shares to drive letters, and I can
access these just fine. I created a "clean" smb.conf file with SWAT to
no avail. I googled for this error, but found that those experiencing
this had more general Samba setup problems. I searched the docs on
samba.org and came up short (the latest HOW-TO collection is missing the
chapter that looks most helpful).
No error messages appear in the Windows Event Viewer nor in
/var/log/messages when I try to print a test page.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Here is smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2004/02/04 13:20:42
