richard, along with the samba distribution, there's a document called (something like) 'samba printing troubles'. that would be a good bet. there was something in there that comes to mind, and i think it would help you out alot.
the basic gist is this: you trick samba into saving the file to disk rather than spooling the file to lpr. that way, you can see precisely what gets sent to the spool. this will tell you immediately whether data is being lost or not because you can see exactly what linux is receiving from the windows machine. pete begin Richard Crawford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Here's my setup.
