As of Win2K, I believe you do not need to use Samba to print to a Linux network printer. Configure the printer in CUPS to allow network connections (this should actually be the default behaviour), and configure the printers in Windows to use a Unix-style (IPP) connection. If you are running a firewall on the server, you may need to open the IPP port (name ipp or number 631). -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
