SAMBA printing Access denied, unable to connect

[Luk Vandenbussche]

When I try to access a samba printer I receive the following error
Access denied, unable to connect
I tried with printcap and an entry in smb.conf
Here is my smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = DOLMEN
netbios name = HUSUX008
server string = Samba Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
password server = *
syslog = 0
log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
printcap name = /etc/opt/samba/printcap
local master = No
read only = No
printing = cups
short preserve case = No
dos filetime resolution = Yes

[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp

[printers]
path = /tmp
read only = Yes
create mask = 0700
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[lj4000]
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printing = hpux

Hi

I know its not all the same but look at

From a different entry

I had this problem too...

Have you set up the samba user the winxp client has to log in with?
In console:
smbadduser

The problem is solved by using the following options for the printer in smb.conf

[hplj5]
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes

printing = hpux
use client driver = Yes
