It is not the Samba configuration on the Linux machine. Samba shares
printers and files on the Linux machine with Windows and Linux
machines. You are going the other direction. I used YAST to setup
printing and there weren't any problems. I just filled in the blanks
and it worked.

Looking for some advice/help. This may be a samba issue, but Im just not sure.
Windows98 machine with a shared printer named HP4 (no password) and queue name of HP4; printer sharing is turned on in the network setup. Host files on both machines have corresponding entries so that each computer can be ping'd by name or IP. Sending printjobs from Suse to the windows machine the spool directory there are two data files, a lock, log, status and acct file. The status file contains "waiting for C147040X-a to come up". The printer is on and waiting for jobs from the Win98 machine. I have used lprsetup to setup the remote queue, and to setup the pre-filter.
I have looked on SuSE's SDB and linuxprinting.org for help but I need to first find out if it's Samba or just the way I am defining the printers,queues, pre-filters.
Thanks
Eric
