Hi Jerry et al, will the 2.2.6 release show the printers in the 'add-new-printer-wizzard' on the client like the WINDOWS server do ? I'm not sure if you know what I mean, so here is a little illustration: ----------------------------- | NTSERVER | | \\ntserver\printer1 | | \\ntserver\printer2 | | \\ntserver\printer3 | | SAMBASERVER | | NTWORKSTATION | | \\ntworkstation\printer | ---------------------------- The SAMBA server only shows the printable shares after clicking on it which unfortunately is very complicated for some people (most of my users)... Is there any chance to get this fixed ? Thanks for your support and a great piece of software take care ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY | Phone: 040-8998-2317 * * - IT - | Fax: 040-8998-4060 * \* 22603 Hamburg | http://www.desy.de */
If this is too complicated for them, what about clicking on a printer through Network Neighborhood view ? It will have sam effect as doing it with the wizard. You can make their life even easier if you install drivers on the Samba server.

I'll look at merging the code in for 2.2.6. cheers, jerry
