Hello, Marshall.
Sorry for the delay; my mother-in-law passed away this week, so I haven't been able to check my mail for a couple of days.
No Problem. My wife had an ablation so my hands were busy too!

The above seem to be ok. Can the users write to the specified directioy and does it exist. The one that I'm referring to is the path statement in the printers section. The printer does not need ot be writeable but they suggest that the printer be a read only. What does the output of the testparm tell you? Run the command as root. Installed also with SuSE's version of samba is the html version of Using Samba. A little old but you may want to read the section on printing to see if there is any tips in there. Let us know what testparm says and we will go from there. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
