John, You need to install the printer as if you are going to print to a local parallel port attached printer. This allows you to install the printer drivers your Win2K system needs. Then, BEFORE trying to print you need to change the printer connection in Device/Details to print to \\Server\printer. Samba 2.0.7 does not yet support NTspoolss protocols (coming in samba-2.2.0) so you need to use the above work-around for now. --- John H Terpstra Samba-Team _and_ VP Community Relations Linux Evangelist TurboLinux, Inc.
