insufficient permissions to open spool .....


In an attempt to print from my newly installed Samba printer under Windows 2000, i got the error message:

insufficient permissions to open spool file /var/spool/samba/smbprn.000030.IaXqXk.

Although a print Test under Samba and Suse was error free, i do not understand why that could not be successful under windows.

here is an extract from my smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = ARBEITSGRP
netbios name = SAMBA
interfaces = 127.0.0.1 194.180.75.90/255.255.255.0
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
password server = 194.180.75.90
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log level = 1
log file = /var/log/samba/%m
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNBUF=8192
os level = 64
preferred master = False
domain master = False
wins support = Yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printer admin = root
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[public]
path = /tmp

[HpLaserjet8100]
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = HpLaserjet8100
guest account = nobody
printer driver file = //etc/samba/printers.def
printer driver location = 194.180.73.194

Ill appreciate any help

Regards
