I am a new user to AIX and is trying to print data from a AIX4.3.2 system to windows 95 in a network. I got Samba and is trying to configure for the system above mentioned but had not tasted success. According to the configuration in the samba.conf file, if i print the /etc/passwd file it is giving error in the 23,32,33rd line of the shell script winprint. These are the lines smbclient comes into picture, it also says that -U option is not available. The change i made to the files are: server: address of the system where printer is connected service : hostname of the AIX system user and password are the same. Even without the changes the errors comes into the picture. How to proceed? 2) From where does smbclient take the broadcast address? I see the address is wrong and don't know where to change it. please help me out. Expecting a early reply from you. regards, srivats
