Phil, I'll throw a 3rd thing at you. Let's get back to basics shall we. Before you can hope to print via smb, you need to make sure you have a working samba configuration. If you don't have samba configured correctly that can cause many smb printing headaches. A simple global section for your /etc/samba/smb.conf can be: [global] use sendfile = No workgroup = rb_law server string = Samba %v printcap name = cups load printers = yes printing = cups show add printer wizard = No log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 time server = yes hosts allow = 192.168.7. 192.168.6. 127. 66.76.63.120 map to guest = bad user security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd local master = no os level = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins server = 192.168.7.15 dns proxy = no Of course adjust the values accordingly. Primarily you need to make sure you have the use sendfile = No and your workgroup configured correctly. Make the changes and don't forget to issue, as root, rcsmb restart. If you changed your workgroup also issue the rcnmb restart. Also, check the version of samba you have installed. If you have 3.0.23c installed that is unpatched, you may be seeing the results of the SID/GID mapping problem that happened in that release for simple setups. Samba.org has the SuSE binaries for 3.0.23d. Believe it or not, You really can print from linux to windows. I just set up another Suse 10 to WinXP printer just to make sure..... -- David C.
