I have solved the problem successfully. The key to the solution was the execution of \\sun\print$ from the windows start execute thingy, that did not work. Running \\sun however worked and gave me access to the pinters and faxes subdirectory mouse right click in this area and choose something like server properties. Then if you have configured all right and have added printer admin = user with the right credentials, you may be able to add new printer drivers, after that you can follow the samba handbook and all works like charm. Actually I should write this in clear text and add to the Howto collection. However I do not have time at the moment. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, De jrus wah, Willy * W.K.

[Samba] Printer drivers on Samba server
