First, I want to thank Mark Clement and Steve Litt for their comments. But as the subject indicates, i'm still not having any luck printing. Mark, I can't even get output to a test file. Below is a printout of testparm. One thing that *is* odd, is the reference to a "printers.def" file in /etc. There wasn't any such file there. The contents are a duplicate of the printcap file. Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[cdrom]" Processing section "[printers]" Loaded services file OK.
