I have recently set up a basic file and print server at my office using Fedora Core 3 and Samba 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3 . We have a variety of clients (1 X WinXP Pro, 1 X Win XP Home, 3 X Win 2k, 1 X Win 98). I can access all file shares on the server from all clients with no problems. I can print to our Samsung ML-2150 printer (connected to the server via USB) from all clients except the Windows 98 system. I can access file shares from the Win 98 system, and I can see the printer and install it, but when I try to print a test page immediately after adding it, I get the error message: "The network printer is no longer available". I don't know why Win 98 can't print, but all the others can. Here is a copy of my smb.conf file:
