Access denied when printing from windows

[Louis Garcia]

I setup cups to be a raw print queue and configured samba for a print
share. I can see the printer share from my winxp boxes and setup could
setup printing in the control panel. The printer when viewed in the
control panel says 'access denied, unable to connect'. I can't print to
it. I think I don't have proper permissions on the samba server.
This is what I have in smb.conf for printers. What is wrong?

printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
printing = cups
cups options = raw
security = share

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes

Did you ever get an answer to this?

I have the same problem, although printing to the
printer still works.

Add " use client driver = Yes"
to your printers section.
