Hello all, I know I need to read the manual but I don't even know where I need to look in the manual. I'm haveing a little bit of a problem getting XP to print to my linux printer. I've got the smb.conf file set up to allow xp to access the corect share and it even sees the printer but it apears it doesn't have permision to print to it. What might I need to do to give it the corect permisions to print to the linux printer? My setup is the following: One XP box, Named kim1 One Redhat 7.3 Box named jerry Network Name MSHOME Printing useing cups software printername local ip subnet 192.168.0.0 samba version 2.2.3a Might be overkill on info might not be enough, if more info is needed feal free to let me know. tnx, - Jerry M. Howell II

I just uncomented that lineIf you've read the comments acoompanying this entry in this file, you sure have noticed the hint to uncomment the line in "/etc/cups/mime.convs" as well? Did you do so? It's not only the file "mime.types", it is also "mime.convs" which you need to edit!> restarted cups and > samba but still no luck. > > - Jerry M. Howell II
