Hello guys,
  We have been running Samba here now for almost a year without a glitch. Recently though any new printer (seems to be deskjet) will not print for us in 2k. They are setup through samba, to the printer on CUPS. Cups can print to it, windows 98 machine's can print to it just fine. We try a 2k machine to print, it can connect to the printer, says it prints. Yet nothing prints. I check the cups log for the printer jobs, and nothing shows up. I also have dual entries for the printers for  windows 2k. Samba use to try to install the printer driver on 2k automaticly, even without the optiions there. So I had to add "use client driver = yes" to the samba printer share for 2k. Still though to either printer share in samba nothing prints. After a fews days I updates Samba and CUPS still same issue though. We are running this on Redhat 7.3. Also any of the lasers print just fine to Windows 2k, haven't installed a new on yet though :). Anyone ever see this before :). Many thanks.

    Carl
