I have got a network printer. I have a Linux box with the network printer defined as a remote printer and the Linux box prints to the network printer - no probs. The Linux box runs Samba and shares out the printer spool thru the [printers] section in smb.conf I have a Windows box which can see the network printer that is shared out by the Linux box, but can't print to it, saying that there is an "...unknown system error..." and suggesting that I reboot Windows (Humph..). When I sniff the traffic I can see the NBT traffic between the Win box and the Lin box, but what I am seeing between the Lin box and the printer is traffic just as if I had run lpq on the Lin box, with the return message from the printer being "No entries". What I would expect to see is the traffic from the Lin box to the printer. Any clues on offer out there? -- Howard. ____________________________________________________ LANNet Computing Associates <http://lannetlinux.com> "...well, it worked before _you_ touched it!" --me "I trust just one person, and there are times when I don't even trust myself" --me -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
