This problem has been documented and solved. See "Fedora core 5 and Samba" dated July 27, 2006. In essence the problem is an incompatibility between "cups" and samba versions. Apparently the following versions work: samba-client-3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 samba-3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 samba-common-3.0.23a-1.fc5.1
cups-1.2.2-1.1 cups-libs-1.2.2-1.1 Many thanks, Lou Arnold ------------------------------------ LouArnold wrote: > > I have just installed Fedora Core 5 with the Samba server.
