[Samba] Printer permissions from W2K

2004-12-02 Thread joec
Hey all...

I am trying to connect to a Epson FX-85 24-pin printer on my file/print/samba 
server. I am running SuSE 9.1/Samba 3.0.2a with CUPS as the print spool. When I 
try to connect to the printer from W2K land, I get this error:
Permission denied

I am at a loss as to where to look (sorry I dont have my smb.conf file posted. 
I am away from home for a couple of days). ALl else (drive mapping to W2K, 
smbfs mounting) works great. But trying to map a linux printer to WIndows has 
been the last great hangup.

Any suggstions?

Joe

The windows user connecting to printer share don't have the correct
permissions for printing...

Check the printer spool directory for guest permissions..

Something like this would work : chmod -R 777 /var/spool/samba
