-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SuSE 8.2. Printing under CUPS Samba is working fine as a file server. I can't seem to get it to print, however. I used Yast to create a raw print queue and (tried to) enable it under Samba. Here's the section of the smb.conf: [prtsmb] comment = Raw Epson Queue path = /var/tmp read only = No create mask = 0600 printable = Yes printer name = prtsmb oplocks = No Under Win2K, I can browse the printer, I installed it with the Epson C82 driver (I did test it locally, it's good). Windows appears to connect to the printer, and (by watching the queue), I see it hand the file off to Samba - but nothing ever prints. I'm missing something - probably obvious. Does anyone have any ideas? tia - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFANk0VjeziQOokQnARAnsxAJ9fbRhxlBu02+W7uucCWNBRs5JxowCaA/Xy hs7rJLTyVmXEvoBztQCYaWc= =F9Kz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Michael, I had the same problem on 9.0 with a VMware Win2000 guest OS and a C84 printer. The only solution I found was to *not* install the drivers locally, but to install them on the (Linux) Samba server, and have Samba install them in Windows when you create the network printer. To do this the easy way, you actually use the Windows Add Printer Wizard. The clearest instructions for doing this I found are here: http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/samba-printer/ There are also other good tips in that doc that will help ensure you have a solid Samba setup. I hope this is helpful. Mark -- ______________________________________________________________ L.

Why not try adding this line to the printers section of the smb.conf file. Use client driver = yes
