Hi all, I have made all the changes you have each suggested but still to no avail. Even with with the simplified smb.conf file etc and the added lines for the guest accounts I still recieve no output. I can however confirm that using Christoph's suggestion I can print and generate the printfile in my tmp folder and it does contain data.
I don't know if it is relevant but the box is a Redhat 9.0 box clean install. I really do appreciate all of your suggestions on this matter, and any more pointers would be great.

Houston Sent: 17 November 2003 13:43 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: LPRng: Nothing Prints Using Samba and LPRNG This may seem too obvious, but since I have struggled with this as well, and it now works fine, I wonder: where in your smb.conf are references to your guest account? You have 'Guest ok = yes' but that's it. FWIW, my own conf files include in the globals section: guest account = nobody security = user map to guest = Bad User I also note that I do NOT have a statement on 'Printing = ...' in the gloabls section but instead a reference to printcap: printcap name = /usr/local/etc/printcap ...which is of course the LPRNG printcap. The pointer to 'Printing = lprng' is in my [printers] section, which also include the various print commands you have in your globals. No doubt I have numerous issues, but it works reliably. My other suggestion is to crank the samba log level up (20?), wipe out the logs, and then do a single test and read them. Also be sure you can simply connect to the server. Finally: why do you have those SO_ options in the 'socket options' section?
