I'm not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish here. If the printer is attached to a Win98 machine, I would think you would just share it from there with the Win98 client. If you want the Linux machine to be a client, I think you need Samba, and it looks like redhat-config-printer should just do the right thing. > > I also tried to install the printer on the server via KDE, but when I > install the printer on the win98 client it crashes. > > I have tried to restart lpd.

If you are using CUPS, you are not using lpd. Did you upgrade this machine from an earlier Red Hat release? In 9.0, CUPS is the default and LPRng is not even installed on a fresh install. You need to commit to either CUPS or LPRng and stay away from the other. > > Can anyone give me a hint on what is Wrong?? > > Bjorn > > _________________________________________________________________ > STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail > > > -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
