Gentlemen, First, I want to thank all those who helped me figure out my problem. Installation is FreeBSD 4.6.2; A standard installation of cups, followed by an immediate upgrade refused to install properly. A direct install of the latest version from the ports collection (on 3rd clean install of OS) did finally work correctly. I suspect there is a problem in the upgrade mechanism since a straight install worked perfectly. The samba end refused to show the printers and that turned out to be a timing problem. It looks like the problem was that both cups & samba were starting up in parallel so that cups did not have time to initialize before samba was up and running. I just added "sleep 5" to the samba.sh startup script and everything is ok now. Hope this helps someone. Phil
