I had the exact same problem and it cost me a full day to solve it but now it works! At first I had my printer connected to the Samba server using the lpd protocol, but that did not work at all. On my W2k clients I had the 'Access denied' problem all the time. Then I went over to using CUPS for managing my printer and read some info on this issue. Here are the sites I read that lead me to victory: http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/cups.html http://www.cups.org/sam.html#8_6 I copied the Adobe PS drivers to the mentioned location, ran cupsaddsmb and added the printer to the W2k client again. This time it worked. Give it a try and success! Jaap -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
