Hi folks,

I'm having problems getting a remote printer to work from my Linux Box.  I can ping
the Win98SE box both by IP Address and hostname.  However, when I set those items
up in printtool it does not even appear to access the hub to get to the Win98SE
box.  Here are some specifics:

The Win98SE box...
IP Address : 192.168.7.3
Computer name : Hanna
Work Group : Mama Mert's
Computer Description : AJ's Celery 400
Printer : HP Officejet 600
Shared as : HP600PRINT (no password needed)

On the Linux box (MDK 6.1)...
Printtool setup
Names : lp
Spool : /var/spool/lpd/lp
File limit : 0
Hostname : Hanna
IP Number : 192.168.7.3
Printer Name : HP600PRINT
User : <blank>
Password : <blank>
Workgroup : Mama Mert's
Input Filter : *auto* - Deskjet550C/560C/6xxC series
Suppress Headers is marked
in /etc/hosts
192.168.7.3   hanna.mamamerts.com Hanna

Hopefully someone out there will have some insight into this problem.  Thanks in
advance for the help.
