Good, then we might be able to fix it on the server side. > > > The only logs on the linux computer are in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd: > > > - ------- > > > [2003/08/15 17:30:52, 0] > > > nmbd/nmbd_responserecordsdb.c:find_response_record(237) > > > find_response_record: response packet id 31530 received with no > > > matching record. > > > - ------- > > > > Is this exact error message generated every time you send a job to the > > printer? > Yes.

Interesting. I don't have raw printing enabled in woody cups. The _only_ thing I have done to make cups work with windows 98 (XP might behave differently? I don't know) was to uncomment / change these lines in /etc/samba/smb.conf: [global] printing = cups printcap name = cups I didn't have permission problems or anything like that. If you have these lines already in your smb.conf, please try to print something from your server instead of from a windows client. That way we can check if the problem is related to cups or to samba. Just print a small text file or something like that. > > Also, have you tried not sending a test page, but just printing from, > > say, Word? > Yes. It has shown me 2 different error messages: > 1.

BTW, I cc-ed this to the list, maybe someone else has something to add. David -- Happy Birthday, Debian!
