>> try restarting samba and cupsd a couple of times. works for me (win2k >> client)
I had a similar problem at work with cups/samba on debian. It would randomly stop working. Made myself unpopular. I've switched to printing through an http port - set up the network address in Windoze to http://gentoo:631/printers/your_printer_name or something like that. Works without fail. The only problem is that I don't think that W98 and earlier versions support this. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
