Hello, i have set up a samba file print server with redhat 7.2.

I can access files but it printing i am having problems with; if open my network places and then samba server i see file shares and printers.

If i open printers and click on my samba shared printer the win2k status panel says ' status: Ready'

But if i install it as a printer in win2k, it installs but come up 'Accessed Denied: Unable to connect'

I have added user name to in the win2k printer properties, the printer works if print test page via cups web admin page.

any help appriciated.

if you're using cups, then all you eed are teh printable and printing options, cups takes complete control of it, so any problems are probably down to cups, unless maybe your extra options are messing it up somehow

I can get it work with the one win98 machine on network, but not on my win2k machines.
