Hello! I am a relatively new user to Samba and have run in to a snag with printing. I have Samba set up on a SuSE 9.0 server. I had no problems setting up shares for disk access to my Win2K boxes. I can attach to the shares very easily. I can also see that the shares are active from SWAT. The problem I have is with printing. I can get to the printer over the lan and even see the que update when I print directly from the server, so I know I have the que set up correctly. The problem is, when I try to print from the Windows boxes, the packets get to the server, but no pages are printed. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks! Pat Craddock
Can SuSE print to the printers? That should be tested first. "Pat Craddock" <pat.craddock@comcast.net> wrote in message news:406AD1B8.4000303@comcast.net...> Hello!

I remember that for my printer shares I have to add the line 'use client drivers = yes' to the definition of the printer share in the smb.conf file.
