This should work... 1- did your friend share his printer on his win2k box? 2- try a newer version of samba, e.g. 2.2.6 (get it here: http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~staburet/freshsamba ) Cheers - -- Sylvestre Taburet - 1024D/030E1B7E [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9ttPQBot2zwMOG34RAtu/AJ4mWB5XMbdpJGFBf/DS97Kh8kCNlwCbBRU5 K/sQ/e8/a987rNm+cGn4n1A= =kuuT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
