Hey Graham and IT Clown,

When you mentioned it I had a look at mine on my WinBloz side and mine 
said the samething.  So I did a little googling and found something. 
Try adding the following line to your smb.conf file:

       use client driver = yes

After adding this line in the global section and restarting samba, I no 
longer see the Access Denied: Unable to Connect message.  I did try and 
print back to the printer and everything is working fine here.  I am 
running RH9 with all the latest updates and using CUPS printing to an 
HPDeskJet 930C.

HTH.

Lee
