Did you share the printer in XP? It would show up in smbclient -L host if it was shared. Since the disk shares show up and the printer doesn't, I would guess you forgot to share the printer. AFAIK that has nothing to do with the printer driver. --

Thanks for your interest in my problem.
The printer is definitely shared - I set the share myself as a user with administrative privileges and the icon for the printer has the "open hand" sharing symbol. The printer is shared as "NetworkedEpson".
Output from smbclient -L hp gives :
Domain=[TUX-NET] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

No mention of NetworkedEpson or any printer share.
Is there something else you need to do to get this to work? It worked great when the printer was on WIndows 98.
Best wishes

I have had the same problem with windows XP. It just refuses to share even with a windows 98 system. It will not work with linux samba either. I have heard you need to go to win XP pro to get it to woek. If anyone knows how to get it to work I would also be interested. Bob Rawlinson
