samba - Jan 2002 - samba printing help pls :)

seems to have dumped a file tmp.print as expected ( i take it )

linux printing is fine works ok

as does

copy dos.txt \\kascha\lp_text

from the NT box

which then prints

If the printer is off line I cannot bring up properties ie if ive
stopped samba, once starting samba gain & online it works again so its
talking a wee bit.

Ive just re-installed samba with no joy.

your smb.conf would be ace thanks.

Hi tried using your smb.conf with minimal mods to suit my domain

no go

same as,

funny if i stop samba then i cant connect and view properties of the
printer, when i restart i get an immediate refresh and i can then
connect and view properties.

so something is semi-talking, command line works so where next?

regards
