Hi, the "access denied" message might have so many reasons ... - First of all, the "printer admin" parameter is a global parameter. When you place it in the printers section, it does not function. - Then you don't have an "guest account" parameter. That means, if you are not root - you are "nobody". Make shure, that this user has the rights to do what you're expecting him to do. - Do you have driver installed for your printer? - You could try a higher log level (e.g. smbd -D 10) to get more info in your logs. - In a simply enviroment like yours you could use a username map for testing: E.g. username map = /etc/samba/username.map
Where the username.map looks like this: root = * Now everyone becomes printer admin. This might help do come closer to the problem.
