I haven't been watching this thread too closely so forgive me if this question seems to be out of the current progression but, I take it you are having trouble printing from a W2K client to a printer via Samba? I had this same problem and did fix it. Let me know if this is the case and I can tell you what I did.<BR>

installing them from a win2k client, it's just easier that way. i've
started with a clean slate on the win2k machine, no printers or print
drivers installed and installed the driver into samba. and with a local
tcp/ip printer setup to print directly to this lpr(via cups) printer, i
installed the local driver into samba. same results when attaching to
the smb printer share.
i'm going to post the message i sent to the samba list to the cups list,
hopefully i'll get some info there. i'd rather not have to install local
printers on the win2k clients, that would be a pain.
thanks.
