Just wanted to update the list with this problem: Its seems it was a config problem in cupsd.conf which was related to the way CUPS broadcasts to clients. I added the server name in the beginning, and fixed a typo and VIOLA! Thanks for all who helped.

Now CUPS does work as far as printing test sheets from the Web Interface, the issue seems to be why samba doesn't recognize it and let me add the printer to the clients. There is always a possibility that Im missing something. In the Win9X clients, when I try to add a printer, it says the share isn't there. Now I don't have a model printer share ([Epson] ect.) in the smb.conf, but from all Vie read, I shouldn't need one, CUPS should take care of all that.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain I understand that CUPS sets up a dummy printcap for the use of applications like samba, and it is best left alone. If printcap was changed, then maybe samba can't understand it. Indeed the fact that printing worked for a bit then stopped could even have been due to the delay between the changes being made and samba refreshing its configuration (which is quite short I think).
