Here's one for Samba bods that know Win 95/98. It's a bit long winded but hopefully I'll include all the information that is necessary for some kind soul to help me.
I have (at last, and due to the help of some kind people on this list and Steve Litt's troubleshooting guide at www.troubleshooters.com/linux/) gotten Samba (and more importantly SWAT) up and running. My system config is as follows: 1/ Linux (RH8.0, latest kernel) machine running Samba 2.2.5 with an HP4P laserjet attached. Local printing is fine (both in Linux and as smbclient). 2/ Win 95 machine. Has standard HP driver installed. (PCL 5) 3/ Win 98 SE2 machine. Encrypted passwords are turned off on this PC. Has standard HP driver installed (PCL5) Both Win machines can see the Samba server and work OK with shared folders and home directories. No problems there. Both Win machines can see the HP4 printer on the Samba server but when connecting to them (adding as a printer in Printer Setup) or trying to print to them I get a message telling me that the remote printer is off-line and requires user intervention. Now the thing is, is that if I shell to a command prompt and use the 'net use' command to attach to the printer I can print to the HP4 perfectly adequately, although I assume that I'm not using the windows printer driver at this point. I can also print to a Lexmark inkjet that I have on the win98 machine from the Linux box. I've gone back in the archives for the list and notice that there was a thread that mentioned that windows print drivers have a habit of monitoring the printer and this can mess up printing to network printers (although I have never had this problem in total win environments that have network attached printers). Is this perhaps causing me the problem or is there something else that I need to try?
