So it appears that the rundll is tied to the Hewlet Packard software and when it comes to windows I don't know how to fix it other than uninstalling and reinstalling the HP software. I may try that. I agree that it doesn't look like a Samba or linux problem. Life is good just don't weaken. -- Dennis M. registered Linux user # 180842
