I have a Mac OSX that cant print to any of our windows AD doamin printers.
The Mac has an account in the domain as does the user. The user did
receive a error message something like, 'error connecting to Samba ... '
Any ideas appreciated

Thanks

Hi Carl!

Is the user being asked to authenticate when connecting to the print
queue or do you allow anonymous printing? Do any other Mac OS X systems
work correctly?

If you don't require that your Macs print through your Windows print
servers then you might also look into having the Mac print directly to
the printer via AppleTalk or LPR.
