HELP! : SAMBA [print$] APW Access denied
807557Jul 29 2009 — edited Jul 30 2009Hello, I am stuck with SAMBA, please help.
I set up SAMBA and storage share work fine. I can write, delete, edit to files in the shared directory.
Printer is visible too.
Solaris 10 is a stand alone server and the xp client is in its workgroup (they are not in a same group).
From XP client:
1) Open My computer, type in the Solaris machine name in the address field
(I have added entry in the hosts file in XP so name conversion is possible)
2) Then I see the shared storage folder and 'Printers and Faxes'
3) I open the 'Printers and Faxes' and see the printer which I have added for XP clients to install
4) I click on the properties of the printer, and it asks if I want to install the driver now.
5) I click NO and proceed to advanced tab. Click on NEW DRIVER button.
I can choose the driver of my choise everything goes well until it gets to the end.
6) After I click on FINISH button, it says "Unable to install Ricoh MP 8000 PCL 6, Windows 2000 or XP, Intel driver. Access is denied"
-----------
FYI, I have set :
net rpc rights grant Everyone SePrintOperatorPrivilege
Without it, the properties of the MP8000 is grayed out at the step 4).

Below is a copy of SMB setting, I hope someone can help me.
