I had just about decided to give up on it, do a fresh install with 9.0 and hope it came right in the wash, but I'll certainly give your suggestion a try. It'll have to wait until Monday as it's a client's machine. I'll report back on the outcome. thanks again Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [expert] Samba printing - Help!
I've found that the samba settings work best with options "use encrypted passwords" enabled and "allow null passwords" enabled as well. Also keep in mind that you may have to capture a printer port and browse to the network printer rather than installing the printer as a pure network printer (this applies when printing to a linux box from a windows machine). Some printers (esp HP laserjet) will not install in windows unless it first detects the printer on a "port". Shouldn't apply in the reverse situation though. Hopefully I don't confuse you more. I have less experience printing from linux to windows than windows to linux to be honest. Todd Can we cut the HTML mails from this list... All my printers are on a linux server, multiple io cards are fitted. I use CUP's for printing. My samaba config is quite basic, but the printers that are visible on the Windows network are all installable. I go into the 'Add printer' dialogue and it allows you to browse the network...just select the one that you want and the insaller does the rest. I have never had to capture the port to do this. If you guys want to see my config, let me know and i'll post it. I do agree about the encrypted password token, also are the printers browsable, this makes things easier.. David.

Re: [expert] Samba printing - Help!
Thanks, but not so simple I'm afraid. Anyway, all the samba file shares are seen in the same workgroup, so I don't think that this can be the issue. thanks anyway - any other suggestions out there?

Re: [expert] Samba printing - Help!
Find the workgroup configuration on you XP machine and then change it in your samba configuration. The two workgroups must be the same. I think it should help. I.
