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

[David]

Hi James,
I check your configuration file,
you have two [global] section delete the second, only the [global]

You must replace the section [printers] with the following:

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    browseable = yes
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    create mask = 0700
    printer admin = @lpadmin
    valid users = james


enumprivs: only lists the existing privileges, does not list the current user's privileges, so I think.

try it and comment.

  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.
