Trying to set up Samba to share a printer with a Windows machine. It used to be fairly simple to do this.
On another 12.04 test machine I tried starting gedit with sudo and printing a file. The following error message comes up in the printer status when selecting the printer to print on. It never says 'ready' or whatever it usually does. NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote spool config_txt On a Windows XP machine it will see the host machine and the printer attached to it, but it will not set up the printer complaining that it has lost the connection to the printer. I interpret this as "Microsoft Speak" for "I don't know what the problem is because printers on a Workgroup aren't supposed to deny access. Going back to the Unix client machine, if I print from a normal admin user I get prompted for authentication, but no amount of typing the correct password will get rid of the NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED message. I'm attaching smb.conf which is almost identical to the one that used to work with 10.04 LTS (but has been messed about with in deperation) Chris ** Attachment added: "smb.conf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/990388/+attachment/3115733/+files/smb.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990388 Title: acces denied samba printer shares after upgrade precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/990388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
