Hi all,
My problem is this: I am trying to share a printer with a windows xp
box using samba. The xp machine is only able to see my printer (or my
samba share) if I drop my firewall. Since I am running an http server,
I don't want to drop my firewall.
Even with the firewall down, however, all the xp box can do is see
the printer. Windows XP is unable to access the printer, the error is
"Access Denied, unable to connect."
I have a share set up as read only, and that appears to work. I have
a share set up as read/write, but when I try to write from the xp box, I
get another access denied.
Summary:
can't see samba shares without dropping firewall
can't write to samba shares
can't print to samba shared printer
Printer: Epson Stylus C42UX
Kernel: kernel-2.6.8-1.521
samba: samba-3.0.3-5
