Anybody got a clue ?> printing from XP box works just fine (but XP has them drivers anyway...) >My XP clients download the Adobe drivers fine, it's specifically a 98 problem here. well, except this morning nothing works anymore... but that's another story.

There was a bug i remember fixing that had to do with smbd sending the wrong filename for the driver file to win9x clients. Only affect a small number of drivers. I just don't remember when i fixed it (this year I know). Probably was between 2.2.3a and 2.2.4. cheers, 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.
