I have an installation where there are several win2K machines connected through samba to a couple of printers. Using Suse 8.2 and cups First I could not get it to print at all via samba by found I had to uncomment this line in /etc/cups/mime.types application/octet-stream and in /etc/cups/mime.convs application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - However now the printing takes very long to happen. The default printer HP4L seems to work OKish but it does not happen instantaneously. The Epson Color takes a while for the windows box to render and takes ages to print. My general setup is as follows [global] printing = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes Thanks -- Grahame Jordan TheForce 61 3 9776 0638 0408 058 209
