Yes, I tried that once, but could not even logon to those shares. That was when I had the old redhat box as server. Could try this new Ubunutu machine. My worry was that samba and nfs would respect each other's file locking. Do you know whether they do or do not respect each other's file locks?

[Samba] Printer settings don't stick
Experienced programmer, Samba noob, CUPS noob; trying to use Ubuntu 6.06 Server as a print server for Windows XP clients on a home LAN. Worked through the Howto and got point-and-print to work for my Canon iP1200 (raw CUPS queue, and I used the Windows XP Add Printer Wizard to upload the driver to the print$ share). However, I can't persuade the printer driver to change the ink cartridge mode from "auto-detect" (which is clearly not going to work, given that Samba/CUPS provides no return data path from the printer back to the client) to "black + color". The dropdown menu stubbornly remains on "auto-detect", and print jobs are always prepared for color cartridge only. I can change from portrait to landscape and back with no problems. Also, whenever the printer properties dialog is open, responses to clicks in it are very very slow, and ethereal shows me a stupidly huge amount of DCERPC request/response traffic between the XP box and Samba (hundreds per second, with the same small set duplicated). Questions for those kindly disposed to noobs: 1. Does ntforms.tdb only store certain standard settings (page size, orientation, whatever) or can it hold anything a Windows printer driver cares to throw at it? 2. Do I need to make ntforms.tdb writable by anybody other than root (for example, should I set it to root:lpadmin rwxrwxr-x like the directory where print$ is mapped)? 3. Is that amount of DCERPC traffic normal, or is this likely to be a bonehead Windows driver trying over and over again to read some kind of status data back from the printer? 4. Where should I be looking to find out how to decipher the DCERPC traffic?
