Hello all: I have managed to successfully install Samba and set up all parameters using the SWAT tool but can't seem to get the printer to work. I have the printer hooked up to my main machine in the classroom and there are 15 9x stations on the network that print to this device. I assume the print request goes through the NT server upstairs and then to my machine so don't know if the permissions are modified by this? I can look at the print queue and see the files waiting to go but it says that there is no server even though it lists my machine as the target one. I read in one of my collection of steadily growing Linux books that you need to have windows (HP in this case) .dlls and other driver files in the printer folder on the Linux end but is this really necessary? Once I can crack this I think I will be sailing. I'm sure it is quite simple but I am climbing the curve like many others. The room I am in is a headache as none of the 9x workstations print all of the time and most times the student has to restart the machine several times before they receive a message "do you want to print what is in the queue". Since there is no printing happening, most students keep hitting the button and later that day or even the next day it decides to print and I have loads of wasted sheets. I assume that with Linux as a file and print server this will go? Thanks in advance, Paul Taylor Westwood St. Thomas School cc negations@yahoo.com
