Hi.

I run SuSE 8.1 and samba here. On the linux machine I have a HP1100A on the
parallel port, and a HP-DJ895Cxi on a USB port.

I can print ok from this linux machine to both printers.

From my laptop, that runs WIN98, I can print to the HP1100A printer.

I cannot print to the DJ895Cxi, even if its set up as a network printer.

I could do this with SuSE dists up to 8.0.

From 8.1 printers are set up using cups.

Here I have my smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from jaska.com (192.168.1.20)
# Date: 2001/08/08 00:02:47

# Global parameters
[global]
	netbios name = ERIKSAMBA
	interfaces = eth0
	security = SHARE
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv
	map to guest = guest
	null passwords = Yes
	printing = CUPS
	print name = CUPS
	log level = 3
	log file = /var/log/samba.log
	keepalive = 30
	os level = 2

[homes]
	comment = Eriks linux-box share disk
	read only = No
	create mask = 0750
	browseable = No

[ErikHD]
	path = /home/public
	read only = No
	guest ok = Yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /tmp
	create mask = 0700
	guest ok = Yes
	printable = Yes
	browseable = No

What could be the reason for the problem ?.
