No. SOrry John. This is incorrect. The [print$] is simply a file share for storing drivers. The windows clients (all versions) query the print server for the driver location. So the [print$] share is used for Win9x & NT and later clients. Just like a Windows NT print server. And if you are saying that the win9x support is flakey due to drivers, then i might agree with you. But if you are saying that Samba support for 9x driver download is flakey I would have to disagree. Just clarifying things. cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "You can never go home again, Oatman, but I guess you can shop there." --John Cusack - "Grosse Point Blank" (1997) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQE+05n3IR7qMdg1EfYRAgQvAKCdNto/xFRC+AjPmPio/i7Cf6PCyACg0PoN XlOnaiugK8bdG47/uwSGvvQ= =hX39 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
