Carlos, your Win2K machines need to send their print jobs to the LTSP server, not the workstations. The server will pass it on to the proper workstation. To get this working, set up Samba on the server. Read the Samba docs; Samba can be a security problem if you don't pay attention. The parts of my /etc/samba/smb.conf file that deal with printing look like this: [global] printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes # It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless # yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include: # bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups printing = cups # NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to # specifically define each individual printer [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes # Other examples. # # A private printer, usable only by fred. Spool data will be # placed in fred's home directory. Note that fred must have # write access to the spool directory, wherever it is. ;[fredsprn] ; comment = Fred's Printer ; valid users = fred ; path = /home/fred ; printer = freds_printer ; public = no ; writable = no ; printable = yes Hope this helps, -David ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
