I have 30 shared printers configured on a central samba print server. The printer server farms out the jobs via lpd. The problem is that under windows ME all the printers are "offline" I can see them and map them but not user them. Under Windows 95/98 and NT 4 I have no problems at all. Am I missing something ovious? I have searched the net for info but nothing useful came back, and I have tinkered with the smb.conf for a while to no notical effect. -- Tim Fletcher - Network manager .~. /V\ L I N U X nightshade@solanum.net // \\ >Don't fear the penguin< tim@parrswood.manchester.sch.uk /( )\ ^^-^^ "Courage will take you to the most dangerous places on Earth.
