Hello all, thanks for all the help so far. I'm trying to print to a printer connected to a windows 2000 profesional computer on our lan. From a winNT4-sp6 machine everything works. I link straight to the computer using \\server\printername in the path in printer wizzard. The same is not the case with the Win98 machines. I get the message that the "printer is off line". This is obviously not the case. I have read 'Printing Support in Samba 2.2.x', but as far as I understand I'm not connecting my printer to the samba server. Do I still need to create a samba print share, and if so, how would I get samba to point to the windows print 'server', I've tried simply typing in the path: \\sambaserver\printshare which doesn't work. Please could you people help. Thanks, Trevor.
