I presume you meant 4.2.0; the SiS chipset sucks - they cut too many corners - consequently the drivers are difficult to make work reliably. With the original 6326 cards I could line up four machines with four identical 6326 cards and get four different levels of functionality from everything-in-software through maybe everything-but-cursor in software and cursor-only-in-software to 100% functional hardware acceleration.

Why? And why only for the printer share and not the other 200 useful samba options . Have you done: # smbpasswd -a where is an existing unix user account on the samba box, that with win9x or winme as a client matches the name you are logged into windows as? Funny, since default config is supposed to allow guest printing (except to the PDF generator), but we might need to use something like 'map to guest = bad user' to get *this* (guest access) working out the box. Of course, this now starts to become a support question rather than a feature request (unless people want 'map to guest = bad user' by default).

In a (the only) windows box in the lan, it says that I haven't permission to see printers / shares of the Mdk computer. Samba server was not "installed at install", I installed it after by urpmi.

This should work out the box (since about 7.2!). Default samba config should share out any printer CUPS on the same machine as the samba server knows about (whether local or remote CUPS), and the homes share. We even have print driver updloads (at least for winnt/win2kpro/winxppro) working *mostly* out the box (just set your print admin group in smb.conf and reload), and a PDF generator which should work out the box. Have you even tried browsing the machine in network neighborhood?
