I posted this query a couple of days ago and received no responses. SInce that time, some other info has come to light that I thought would be useful to helping to solve this porblem. My network consists of a firewall machine networked with a SuSE 7.2 workstation and a Windows 2000 workstation. My smb.conf file is below: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/11/24 00:43:32 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = PENGUINIX security = user browsable = yes guest account = guest encrypt passwords = yes ;wins service = yes wins support = Yes path = /smb/Delorme local master = yes [joec] comment = Personal network share path = /smb/joec read only = No [peggyc] comment = Personal network share path = /smb/peggyc read only = No [pr1] printable = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s ;printer driver = dj1 printer = dj1 printing = BSD path = /var/tmp valid users = joec peggyc root administrator min print space = 2000 I can see dj1 (linux printer - HP640c) from the Windows desktop. When I try to print to it (i.e. test page), I receive an error spooling the document to the printer. I am connecting the printer through an TCP/IP port. I have checked permissions on the w2k side, and everything appears to be setup to allow printing. When I check the status of the spool on the linux side, the lock file is being generated, and the stauts shows the printer as being ready and available for printing.

Try putting "use client driver = Yes" under [pr1] You'll need to have the printer driver installed on the Win 2K machine.
