I'm getting on windows 'you do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer'

I don't know what's wrong, stuff prints from kwrite in linux, here is my samba.conf

[global]
server string = Linucks
; server string = Samba Serv
; username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
; password server = None
guest ok = yes
netbios name = Samba

# Setting up CUPS for SAMBA
# This will be used in section QQ2
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
security = share

time server = yes

;hosts allow = 192.168. 127.
;log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

;socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

[Downloads]
comment = Downloads
path = /mnt/hdb1
browseable = yes
writeable = no
; writeable = yes

# Section QQ2 is below
[printers]
browseable = yes
printable = yes
public = yes
create mode = 0700
guest only = yes
guest account = smbprint
path = /home/smbprint

Can the user smbprint print locally without any problems? This could be a permissions issue on the spool/temp dirs.

Yes, smbprint can print locally in kwrite without any problems. Any ideas?

Here's a screenshot of the error in windows

I decided to solve the problem through a different route.

Just set cups up with your printer, make sure cups can work with it... then add the printer through windows according to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324078

This may help others at a later date whom might stumble upon this thread.

This is the same solution as the person who is replying below uses.

I used to use Samba to print to cups from a windows box as well. I recently switched over and bypassed samba totally by setting up the windows box to print using IPP directly to cups. In windows you just add a network printer and type in the full url to your cups printer. In my case its:

As long as cups.conf is configured to allow connections from your windows box you will be good to go.
