John, The only way I got this to work was to be logged in as root at a Windows workstation. Start > Run > \\sambaserver Open the Printers folder (for the Samba server). If there is no APW icon, you have a permissions problem (that could be in many different places) that needs fixing first. If you do have an APW icon, right-click on any white space in the icon container, choose Server Properties, and follow the prompts to add the printer drivers to the server. If the buttons to add drivers are greyed out, you still have a permissions issue(but you are much closer than if you have no APW icon!) John's latest book, Samba3 By Example, has better instructions on this than TOSHARG; highly recommended (both, actually)! HTH, Mark -- _____________________________________________ A Message From...
