Apparently Windoze 95 is afraid of dealing even a small error like a non 
printable printer to the extent of recommending shutting itself down. I just 
wonder why they don't make it really shutdown "automatically"...
If it's not
Micro$oft, maybe we are able to change hard disks without shutting down the 
system.

Well, I've run into this problem just a week ago when I first set a Win95
box
to connect to my Linux box running Samba 1.9.18p3. The problem disppeared as 
soon as I set the mode of the printing directory to world writable. That's 
the 'path' specified in the [printers] section. Well, it's
documented
somewhere. No big deal, only sounds like Hell.

Hope this can solve your problem.
