I have tried your suggestion and removed that automatic loading of printers from the printcap file and created an individual entry, but this hasn't solved the problem. I still get exactly the same error message.
I have checked it is not the way I have created the share, by using My Network Neighbourhoood and browsing to that share and this works.. Have you got any NT4.0 Printer Shares?

Has anybody else experienced > this before? There appears to be some "invention" with NT authentication with which Samba can't deal _automatically_. Either that, or Samba "stumbles" over some lprng configuration diffrences. Encountered similar pains after upgrading a site from SuSE 7.1 to 8.0 last week. When I tell Samba not to load printcap and explicitly declare the printers required for sharing, it seems to work without a hitch. Try that; just add one printer definition to smb.conf and see if it's happy. -- /"\ Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | I'm a .signature virus!
