Yes. Get Samba working first so you can network your Windows and Linux boxes together, and then just run the printer GUI in Mandrake Control Centre. It will find your Windows printers and allow Linux to print to them If you do not have Samba working yet just install the drakwizard RPM from your CD then run the Samba wizard you will find in the new server section in Mandrake Control centre. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
