Samba Printing Problems

[Justin Bennett]

I just set it up, 'works for me' I love giving that answer to some people
here, anyways :) The Access Denied Unable to Connect, is normal W2k always
says that with samba (my experience anyways) even if its working ok. Does
it print from other clients just not 2k?
