We had this exact problem. We turned back on a depreceated variable in Samba and voila, it worked again. Could it have been the "status = yes" maybe. I don't remember. With it off, Windows shows no connect to printer, and with it on, Windows shows a green Ready and also gets the correct description for the printer queue. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
