Hi all: I know that Chris Dawkins (et al?) will say, "if it aint broke, don't fix it", or words to that effect, but... I had a nice relationship, if such a thing can be, between SuSE 7.1 and Win 2000. I have the Linux box upstairs as a server with an HP 670 DeskJet attached and used to happily send files to it to print from the Win 2000 machine downstairs. I am still lumbered with a windoze set up at school for now so need this set up. This was working well until I dutifully up-graded to 7.2. I loaded up Samba 2.2 and other "improvements" and since then I have not been able to get my printer to work. W2K sees it but refuses to load drivers for it. It is fine sending files to the SuSE box etc. I saw one how to that said I need a PRINT$ directory in smb.conf with a "sub-directory pointing to x86 files" but after following it dutifully, I was still no closer. I have used combinations of 2.0.9, 7.1 SuSE ad nauseum but still no joy. Can anyone point me in the right direction to solving this one?? Paul Extra details gladly submitted on demand.
