Could you please provide your printcap and relevant sections of smb.conf? David, Oh, yes, I installed with portupgrade - really a good proggie. I can print with the lpd, if I set it up for that... But the problem is with Cups. When one installs cups the printcap file is overwritten and all you have is Epson900: (in my case anyway). kThe ir;ony is that the cups configuration for Windows printing is incredibly naive - "all you have to do is enter: printing = cups; and printcap = cups" - really, that's what they say on their site & documentation. Wel, it ain't that simple... it would seem... OK, I stand corrected... as I was writing... I did a final check to try to install a driver from the Windows side - and using the Windows built-in driver (not the Epson driver, which was rather a mess to install) IT WORKS. Thanks for the help.

[Samba] configuration & cups
I seem to be having a great deal of trouble with cups and samba configuration. cups seems to go on and off and it works and doesn't work. I think I need some help on my samba configuration. Generally, it has worked well on another machine, but my current setup seems a bit screwy. System: FreeBSD 4.6.2; cups-1.1.15.1; cups-base-1.1.15.1_4; cups-lpr-1.1.15.1_1;cups-pstoraster-7.05.5; ghostscript-gnu-7.05_3 (installed by cups-lpr); gimp-print-4.2.1; samba-2.2.6.p2 Problem: yesterday, I could see the Unix machine on Win2k. I have two printer shares that could be seen. Today, they are not there. To log on to the FBSD machine from Win2k I get the log-on window and can connect by entering nothing and pressing enter. I can access the Printer directory, the www and tmp. But one directory, pippo, asks for a username and password but accepts none. I am running samba from rc.local with no parameters I am attaching my smb.conf I am sure I am doing something wrong. Please help. Phil phil_smb.conf Description: Binary data
[Samba] logon
I cannot logon to samba server from Win2k. I can see the server on My Network Places, but the logon does not accept any of my know usernames or passwords. I'm afraid I do not understand what has to be done to make it all work. Strange thing is, on an earlier installation on another FreeBSD box it all works but I am totally unable to make it work on FBSD 4.6.2 2with samba 2.2.6.pre2. What am I doing wrong or what is it that I should understand to make it work?

[Samba] configuration & cups
Resubmitting, as, apparently the attachment was messed up. It is in the message at the end.

[Samba] samba cups install
Gentlemen, First, I want to thank all those who helped me figure out my problem. Installation is FreeBSD 4.6.2; A standard installation of cups, followed by an immediate upgrade refused to install properly. A direct install of the latest version from the ports collection (on 3rd clean install of OS) did finally work correctly. I suspect there is a problem in the upgrade mechanism since a straight install worked perfectly. The samba end refused to show the printers and that turned out to be a timing problem. It looks like the problem was that both cups & samba were starting up in parallel so that cups did not have time to initialize before samba was up and running. I just added "sleep 5" to the samba.sh startup script and everything is ok now. Hope this helps someone.
