I tried adding these lines (making sure that i havent doubled up aswell)
but still access denied.
now also i cant access the cups admin page.
For IIP printing I'm guessing that the path Im supposed to use is
http://<server>:631/printers/<printer>

adding the printers is the easy part is just that win keeps on complaining
Access denied, unable to connect. Im samba i have the printer as browseable,
but i cant see it unless i restart samba.
