Trying to print 'manually' through smbclient yields this: smbclient \\\\host\\pcprinter -P -N -U guest Added interface ip=xxx.xyz.yy.zzz bcast=xxx.xyz.yy.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[IPHY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.1a] smb: \> print /etc/printcap putting file /etc/printcap as printcap-2385 Error writing file: ERRHRD - 39 (0 kb/s) (average 0 kb/s) smb: \> Server is a Linux RH 6.1. Other messages from NT machine trying to print top that printer were something like: disk full, write error. I'm clueless. -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
