Question Using printer that is connected to WinXP machine

If all else fails, ask right??

I am a Linux Newbie (that's an understatement) and I am trying to setup a printer that is connected to a WinXP machine on a local network. I am using SuSE 9.0 and am using YaST to connect to the printer. The problem is that I keep receiving an NT_ACCESS_DENIED message everytime I try to connect to the WinXP machine using Samba. Can anyone point me to a FAQ or somewhere where I can find out what I am doing wrong please?

Thanks for your patience,

Maelgwyn

i get that too. before my dad switched to xp all was fine. now i get the same error message as you. i cant figure it out off the top of my head, however i do admit i havent really looked that hard at sambas website....yet! Smilie

try adding :

lanman auth = no
min protocol = NT1




to the global section of your config file and let us know what happens!! Smilie



EDIT:

what am i thinking? this is for client side config. im still in the dark aswell. what i said shouldnt do anything to help you.

you SHOULD be able to install the client side only samba tools to print to a windows computer. this is what i have done, as i have no need on my desktop to share files via SMB.
