similar to: adding network printer in W2K

I posted this query a couple of days ago and received no responses. SInce that time, some other info has come to light that I thought would be useful to helping to solve this porblem. My network consists of a firewall machine networked with a SuSE 7.2 workstation and a Windows 2000 workstation.

Greetings ... I hate to ask these questions, but I dought I will get a straight answer from an Salesmen ...

First allow me to issue this disclaimer... The following problem is most likely due to my own ignorance. Now on to the problem...

I have started tinkering with samba 4. I have a Windows 2008 active directory domain controller. It is also the main DNS server but is not the wins server. The DNS server does NOT allow DNS registration by client machines. I have a fedora core 19 linux machine with samba 4.1.13 (bundled with Fedora.) smb.conf includes security = ads realm = MYDOMAIN.COM

Using SuSE V8.0 Samba 2.2.7a on a small network I have a Lexmark laser printer attached to the Linux PC, using Cups 1.1.15. I was able to print from Linux OK, and some months ago had setup the Win NT PC to print across the network to the laser. So all was well. Recently I had a couple of problems with the NT machine (the usual BSOD's etc) also had a couple of problems with the SuSE PC
