I took the easy way out of this situation by using rlpr instead of samba. Simply install the rlpr package and run "Printing over TCP/IP Services" on the NT machine.
To be able to just use the lpr command instead of rlpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] all the time, change your /etc/printcap file to read as follows: # Entry for remote printing usng rlpr lp:lp=:rp=printername:rm=hostname.domain.com This will allow you to do lpr lpq lprm without having to type the priner details all the time. Obviously you need to change the printername and hostname.domain.com strings to what they are on your system. Hope this helps... John. P.s. I would like to get samba working with NT, but after spending a few days trying I gave up. If anyone knows how to get this working I and many other people would be interested.
