Have you looked at permission of your spooldir in (default) /var/spool/samba WIndows XP en 2000 try to check on the remote spool (on the samba machine) for status afaik so as long as you're not checking your spool out as root you can't check status if you doon't have read permission in the spooldir. If you don't want to set permission you can map the printer to an lpt port in NT5 or disable spoolss in samba (smb.conf) afaik, all of this will make NT5 look at the printers through the lanman protocol (which is the same as the protocol win9x uses) and that uses local spooling or at least not look at the remote spoolstatus. Please correct me if I'm wrong anyone :). Regards Bas -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
