Hello, I recently upgraded our file server from RedHat6.2 to RedHat7.2. This upgraded our (working) Samba 2.0.x to 2.2.1a-4. Now, the windows98 machines on the network can print without problems. The 2K/NT4 machines cannot print, but they experience no problems with file sharing operations (writeable /home/$USER). The 2K/NT4 machines had been printing fine prior to the upgrade. I won't preclude other problems, but I think I'm doing something wrong with samba. The attached printer is a HP LaserJet 1100. Thanks for any help, Jason
You haven't provided much detail. Instead of guessing, why not run samba with log level = 3 and look into the logs for what transpires when you try to print something from the NT machines and compare that to what the log shows for the 98 machines?

Printing was one of the major changes between 2.0 and 2.2. chau, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.
