anomaly

I have a Redhat 8.0 server setup running Samba 2.2 I have shared a few directories and can read/write to those fine on my client WinXP machines. I have setup users and passwords for each WinXP client.

I can see the printer(Brother 1230) I have shared, but when I try to print a test page, nothing happens. In the bottom left corner on the client machine, it says "Access denied, unable to connect". Can anyone help? I can print locally on the Linux machine fine. Here is my smb.conf file:

I have that kind of problem, too. I believe they changed some SMB perms specs a little when they released XP and that is why it won't work. You will probably have to wait until a version of Samba is released that supports it.
I don't know for sure, though. Try and get a second opinion.
