[Bug 967410] Re: Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

[jmsfnch]

Hi David,

Thanks for taking the time to provide further suggestions - I'm sorry I
didn't respond sooner (I'm still struggling to find time to read around
this subject at the moment).

I can confirm "james" is a member of lpadmin and am still getting the
"WERR_ACCESS_DENIED" message, despite following your suggestions.

If you are interested, I have placed some rpcclient output and the
active content of smb.comf in the pastebin:

KR,
James

  Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

Bug description:
  Since installing 12.04 I can no longer connect my windows XP clients to my laser printers on the Ubuntu system using samba. 
  It works on 11.10 using the exact same smb.conf file.  
  I can see the printers from the windows clients, I can select it, I install the drivers locally from the windows pc.  When I click next I get the message "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly or the specified printer has lost its connection to the sever". 

  This is a deal breaker for me.
