Yes. Good fun isn't it. You'd think after all these samba releases since
97 or so, we'd finally be rid of this kind of crud.
Look, I remember screwing with machine names, user names and passwords,
samba configuration settings, and CUPS setting (for raw printing).
Eventually it worked (although the access denied message never went
away). A few releases later and I haven't bothered trying any more.
I did keep a link from then though - and it looks like it could help:

Oh, and please be aware if your printer uses a print monitor, it will
not work through samba period.
Sorry I don't have a definitive answer. I couldn't find one way back
then either.
Regards,
Ed.
