I am facing a little problem with printing.
Linux Box RH 8.0 Samba 2.2.7. Everything was OK. Dunno what I did. Now, eventhough I can see the printer share and connect to it from my WXP PRO, when I send a print, nothing happens. Even If I watch the queue from the WXP, I can see that nothing is going thru this port. Where is the file going? If I check the printer properties (ports), it seems that this particular printer is not point to anywhere. I don't even know whether the problem is from the XP side or Linux side. I know that the printer is configured properly on the Linux and is printing from there. I am attaching my SMB.conf as it's now. I am not a Linux expert. Just starting, so don't take for granted that I checked the easiest parts even. Thanks in advance.
