You'll have to upgrade the 3.0.1 box - MS introduced a bug in XP SP2 for printing which samba fixed in the later versions (> 3.0.5 I believe). Look at the release notes for the latest samba version and search for "SP2" and you'll see the problem. http://samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.8.html -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
