I'm trying to share an Epson Stylus Color printer from a Samba server. The printer is directly connected to the servers printer port and I have no trouble printing from the server. However, I have Win 98 clients that cannot connect to the printer. I used swat to setup Samba so I believe that the configuration is correct. Although the Win 98 clients see the printer share they report that it is off-line. I'm thinking that this may be caused by some lack of bi-directional communication between the printer and the Win 98 clients and that the "fix" may be something I need to do on the clients. There has got to be a way to make this work. I use to run an NT server on the very box that the Samba server is currently on and shared this printer with no problems. Help keep me NT free! I'm using Mandrake 6.0 and the most current Mandrake RPM of Samba. Any suggestions? Thank you.
