Hallo, it seems to be impossible to handle with long printer names in printcap and use this printers on a win-pc. At now I use Samba 2.0.7 (Linux and Solaris) and WinNT 4.0 SP5. Only printers with no more than 12 chars works well, printers with longer names one can see in the network view of the win-pc but printing is impossible (error in file name ?!?). Any help or hints are welcome. Yours B.
