Please match the MS NT specs (I don't know what it is) for maximum length of a printer share name. If someone can create a Shared Printer Name on an NT box with "X" length, then that's the same length Samba should use. If clients are old and require and 8 chr name, then the administrator will have to create an 8 chr name alias or a new share with the new name. Thanks for the opportunity to add my opinion. -- David Touster Manager, Systems Integration ACE*COMM Corporation email: tousterd@acecomm.com
