[linux-help] samba printing

[Jeff Vian <jvian10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I seem to have a little trouble setting up samba to allow my windows pc 
to print to the printer on linux.

So far I have tried everything I have found in the samba distribution 
and on a google search to no avail.

I am running RedHat 7.3, and have samba installed and active.
The printer on this machine works well, and I have been able to print 
from linux on another server to this one with no problem.

PROBLEM
 From the windows workstation I can browse the workgroup and see the 
Linux host, but when I try to configure the shared printer or just 
browse for shares available on that host it askes for a password and 
will not authenticate.

CONFIGURATION
On the linux server I have a user with the same name as I have logged 
into the Windows box, and have set the password for that user 
appropriately.

Using "smbclient -L hostname" I can see all the printers defined as 
shares from the Linux machine.
I have one for local printing, one as a raw spool for use in printing 
from Windows, and another that is a network printer on a different Linux 
host.

QUESTION
Does anyone have any tips or pointers that will help identify the 
problem with not being able to connect from the Windows workstation to 
this printer??
