Folks - I've always been able to print pre FC4. I was so impressed with FC4 performance, that I think I got carried away with my samba/cups configurations. Saddly, I didn't save the old conf's to fall back on. When I set-up the printer on windoz, it seems to go OK, but the printer status is "Access denied, unable to connect". Attempting to print a test page yields a fatal Windows Explorer error. The printer is an HP LaserJet 4P that has worked flawlessly for 6 years, and still works flawlessly on the linux FC4 box. I've included my smb.conf and cupsd.conf files. I have spent many hours/days on the cups and samba sites trying to get a working configuration. I'm just too close to this to see my error. The shares work great, it's just the printer. Help in spotting my screw-up would be greatly appreciated.
