Dear All, Finally I have samba 2.28a working between my Suse 8.2 and husband's win98 desktop for sharing files. No more $IPC password error-----hurrray! Thanks to those who helped me with that issue. :-) Now, the one thing left is printing. I have the only printer (HP 940c) desktop connected parallel style to my husband's win 98. I have it installed with the HP drivers that it comes with and setup for sharing from that end I believe. I setup printing in my Suse 8.2 from yast using smb choice. It will not do a test print from there. When I do smbclient commands for printing the printer does print but it prints gibberish and many pages come flying out. It is obviously not understanding my Suse 8.2 commands but is getting contacted which is my first sign of progress. Do I need to set up the HP940c as postscript , raw or what? I am not sure if the problem is at the Suse 8.2 end or the windows end. Maybe both sides need work. ;-) I have read and studied everything about this in the docs and mailing lists, google, etc, for a month,but I am still not quite sure how to get this to work. My linux(Suse 8.2) is the samba server but does not have the printer hooked up to it directly. My windows 98 does have the printer hooked up to it and prints fine locally. Any help will be very appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, Marcia
