replaced a Win XP PC with a Windows 7 PC and can no longer print to a
shared printer on the Windows 7 PC from my Linux Centos 5 server. The
configuration on the server was not changed. The Samba version is
3.0.28-1.el5_2.1. I don't believe it is a firewall issue because I can
connect to the printer (and print) from another PC on the network. I
also temporarily disabled the firewall on the Windows 7 PC with no
success. </font></span></div>

<font size="2"><font face="Arial">I think the issue is that Windows 7
and Vista use a more strict authentication. To get Windows to play
nice with Samba, you need to "downgrade" the Windows authentication to
the old method:<br>

The article is for domain logon support, but I think this still applies
to your printer sharing problem. I had a similar issue trying to get
Vista to print a while back.<br>
