VIOLA! up pops a dialog box asking me for the password for ROOT!!! So I give it the Root's password for the SuSE printer server and VIOLA! Out comes a test page from the Windoz machine's attached printer!!! Another experiment revels that this dialog box only comes up when I place the KDE configuration manager in administrator mode. And a third experiment revels that it ONLY works for ROOT and not for any other valid users (including myself) of the SuSE computer acting as a printer server.
Weird! (It is voilà, anyway, or perhaps voila - my French is not that good) I think you should try command line utilities on the client machines, to determine if it is a kde issue. You could also attach a local printer to the cups server, and that way get rid of samba for a moment; if the clients machines can print normally, then there is a samba interaction. Don't forget to check what authentication is required in that server cups configuration, for printing. Ie, who is allowed to print, in theory. I have heard weird reports before of people attempting to use cups client mode setup before, and, although I'm sleepy today, I think you should try installing one of those clients with the full, standard, cups, and try again. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
