Darn, I have a whole office full of Mandrake8/samba/cups machines that I
can't get to jell.
Guess it is time to start M8smbcupsLUG. I too need all the help I can get.
Do you have a clue as to how many lugs are in Austin? Not to say that
we could not
prolly hold some more, but have you taken advantage of the resources
already available?
Maybe I should have my meeting tonight too.
On a side note, X does not run on any of these boxes? I have a
hard time *not* getting X to install and run on mandrake.
have fun. Come see us tomorrow night. http://www.austinlug.org
