Re: Samba Print problem from win95/98
Linda You absolute beauty!! Worked first time from the 95 machine. Not sure about 98 as it's being used by member of family. I confidently expect it to work though. This needs to go into a FAQ somewhere. Not the *ideal* solution for a large network but it works! Many thanks Kind Regards Ashley In case it helps others my steps were: 1/ plug printer cable from win pc to printer 2/ use start-settings-printers on win machine to create new Hp4p printer locally attached and print test page. 3/ go to ports page on properties page of printer and add new port \\HOSTNAME\ (In my case I had a printer set up on Linux box called 'prn_linux_hp4p' with an alias of 'hp4' 4/ Do a test print, hear linux box disks whirring, lights flash and paper ejected with expected Win test print page.

Re: Samba Print problem from win95/98
I have a trick that I have gotten to work with windows for stubborn printers I set up the printer as a local printer sometimes you have to temporary attach it to the computer than go to properties and change the port since you can assess the printer it might work.

Re: Samba Print problem from win95/98
Edward The drivers I'm using are the standard MS Windows ones (i.e. as found when adding a new printer.) I haven't loaded anything special from HP. Are there any simpler ones about?

I had to switch to a Standard Windows Driver for my Epson Stylus Color 880, because the Epson Driver wanted to do the monitoring (I couldn't switch it off - I don't know about HP drivers - you may be able to).
