Samba Printer Share on Win2K Access Denied, No Connection available
Hallo,
I have a problem with Samba printer Share and printing from a Win2k client. Printing works from the Linux Server but not on the client. The Printer is an OKI610ex and I use the CUPS Printing System. I can see the printer share on the win client an I can install it as a new printer. When I click on the printer icon, I get the message: Access denied, No connection available. My smb.conf is as following: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) # Date: 2003/04/07 23:02:10 # Global parameters [global] printer = oki610ex socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY encrypt passwords = Yes time server = Yes veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ unix extensions = Yes netbios name = SAUGI writable = yes printing = cups path = /var/spool/cups default service = MP3 workgroup = HOUSENET os level = 2 printcap name = CUPS syslog = 0 security = SHARE log level = 1 [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [sonst] force user = XY delete readonly = Yes strict sync = Yes sync always = Yes [mp3] force user = Kris valid users = XY,Kris,Sardi delete readonly = Yes path = /home/mp3 [oki610ex] comment = hp4p emulation printable = yes My System is SuSE Linux 8.2, Samba 2.2.7a-72. Does anyone have a solution for this problem ? |
Your printer share needs the printable option, without it, Samba thinks it is a disk share.
printable = yes |
But my printershare is:
[oki610ex] at the bottom of the config file and there is a "printable=yes" entry. Or do you mean the [print$] entry ? |
No more help available ? Has no one had this problem bevor ?
|
Ive got this problem as well. Im using winXP pro, and my Samba server is running on a Red Hat Box. But I dont know how to fix it. I have tryed doing the configuration with Webmin (www.webmin.com) but i havent been able to solve it.
|
Oh :rolleyes:
... Didn't see it all the way down there.:D You forgot the path = option. Samba needs to store the file before it can print it. Also, you may want to add writable = no for security reasons. So your share should look like this. Code:
[oki610ex] |
Thanks a lot ! I will try this and report if it worked.
|
Ok, I tried it, but it didnīt work. I still get the "Access denied" and when I try to start a printjob I get the Message: "Print job could not be started".
I also tried to configure the printershare with webmin and SWAT, but I had no success. |
Hmm, I am using a Samsung ML-4500, and i am still having the same problem...
|
Hmmm, now i have the following config:
# Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost.UU.NET (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/07/16 16:24:19 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MSHOME netbios name = WEBSERVER server string = RH8 Server security = SHARE null passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No printing = cups [laser] comment = Samsung ML-4500 Printer path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes printer name = laser use client driver = Yes And it just freezes and says "Initializing" on the queue |
OK for all who have this problem, maybe this helps you. Finaly I got a solution for my one.
I changed the path to: path = /var/spool/lp this is the same printingqueu Linux installed the printer for. Then I made a chmod 777 to the lpd directory and now it works fine. I can print and I donīt get the access denied message anymore. Hope it works for the others, too. By. |
That's it
Very good.
Like I mentioned in the previous post, Samba needs to store the file (printed document) before it can print it. Most likely, the directory permissions prevented Samba from writting the files to disk. |
Gonna try that...

ARGGGG
Its still not working! I still get Access Denied!!! this is my config file: [global] workgroup = MSHOME netbios name = WEBSERVER server string = RH8 Server security = SHARE null passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No printing = cups [laser] comment = Samsung ML-4500 Printer path = /var/spool/lpd guest ok = Yes printable = Yes When you say the same 'printingqueue' ... how to i find the path to it?
