okay.. i'm on my winbox, looking at stuff.
connecting to my samba server works fine.. browsing through files and
access is fine, but when i try to print, it doesn't work at all.
it recognizes the printer, the printer type and such, but it just doesn't
print.
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /tmp
printing = /usr/local/bin/lpr
print ok = Yes
browseable = No
printable = Yes
guest ok = Yes
this is what my smb.conf file's print section looks like.
can anyone help?

For the valid values, see us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#printing What you apparently wanted to specify is 'print command' (see us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#printcommand). Most of the time you don't even need to specify the print command at all, since the value set with printing implies certain default values for the print command. -Joe -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Joachim Feise PP-ASEL PhD Student, Information & Computer Science mailto:jfeise@ics.uci.edu ics.uci.edu/~jfeise ------------------------------------------------------------------- PGP Fingerprint: C3C2 FC7E 8060 E07F BE37 2BA2 29CF 2867 5328 4DEA ------------------------------------------------------------------- The best way to accelerate a win9x system is at 9.81 m/s^2
