Need Help, Samba printing problem with Windows XP and 2000

[kmlhk79]

Dear All :

I have installed Samba on Woody .

However I find some strange problem on printing sharing with Windows XP and 2000.

I have setup the following printing share on Samba config file :

[printers]
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
printable = yes
path = /var/tmp
comment = All Printers
public = yes

It is working fine on Windows 98 . (i .e. I can create and print on this printer with out problem.)

But when I try to run on Windows XP and 2000, I can browse and add this printer with the "Add printer" function in Windows XP and 2000 succefully.

After that , When I open this printer. I got the following error message form the Windows Printers window:

Access denied, unable to connnect

Of course , the print job can not be send to the samba, but why it is working fine on Windows 98 ? Am I missing something on smb.conf ?

Anyone have the same problem and the solution for it ?

Remark :I am using the same login account on windows 98 and XP. The file shareing on the samba are working fine on windows 98, XP and 2000 with out problem. Only the printing got this problem.Will it be the Woody samba problem ???

Regards,

太感謝你了!!!親一個!^^"我現在可以用了!!!

But how can I config this cups printer to be share to other Debain workstation ?

What do I need to do on the Debian workstation and on the cups server ?

I am running Woody with kde.

It's almost the same if the other debian use the CUPS service...

just add the printer by the LPD/LPR host or Printer or ipp
