<little snip> <Original message> 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 <HUGE snip> Can we cut the HTML mails from this list...<end whinge> 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.
