I discovered this problem the last weekend. The SuSE lprng.rpm is not working(at least under 2.4.2-4GB) for sharing samba printers with Windows clients. You must uninstall lprng.rpm and compile your own. See this thread: http://lists.suse.com/archives/suse-linux-e/2001-Apr/0139.html You do not need to change the Samba rpms. They are working fine. mk

To: SuSE Linux English Subject: [SLE] Samba printers under 7.1 Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2001 11:59:20 +0100 Hi,
I recently upgraded (well fresh install) from SuSE 7.0 to 7.1. Ever since then I can't get the network printers on the windows machines in the office to work. They used to work fine under 7.0. I am installing them with Yast2. I am not using CUPS. I can send the test pages to the printers but they come out very wrong. The most important one to get working is an Epson Stylus Colour 600 on a Win95 box. It prints about 6cms of green gecko with white horizontal stripes then moves on to the next page and prints a vague outline of the next bit of the test page then next page. That's as far as I let it go before deleting the job.
What changed from 7.0 to 7.1 (apart from kernel 2.4.2 that I'm using) that might account for this?
Any suggestions gratefully received,
Thanks,
Mark
