Issue:
Error message “Access denied, unable to connect” on the Windows PC printer status using samba printer.
Solutions:
Insert 2 lines in /etc/samba/smb.conf at Samba server [printer] section:
guest ok = yes
use client driver = yes
Configuration:
- Samba server – Fedora Core 5
- Samba client – Windows XP Professional SP1
Tricks:
Even though the captioned error message shown, the printer still can be access n worked for test page printing,
but seems that some client apps could not print using that shared samba printer.
