Using RH 8.0, I am unable to get a Windows printer working.

On the windows side:
The printer is shared as 'HP1100'
Permissions give my user account full privs.

On the linux side, using the Print Config applet:
- I specify Windows/SMB printer
- For the queue name I specified 'HP1'
- I configured the correct IP address which is pingable
- I configured the proper workgroup
- I set the driver to HP 1100 (which is what the printer is)
- I tried my windows username (both as 'username' and 'DOMAIN\username')

The Printer applet seems to complete without problems. Executing 'lpstat
-a' shows the printer listening for request. I restarted lpd several
times as well. When I submit a print job (lp -dHP1 /etc/hosts) it shows
up in the print queue (lpq) but after a few moments it says ERROR, and I
must delete the print job using lprm. I cannot find anything being
logged anywhere.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thx,
CC
