None, for port 139 is not among. I'd recommend you - setup a windows machine (call it "printsrv") which can access the printer (eg. via LPR protocol on port 515) - install the drivers for several OS', so clients can autoinstall - share it's printer to the other clients. Thus it will be addressed by as \\PRINTSRV\LASER1. But this is not debian specific anyway. -- Johannes Franken Professional unix/network development mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jfranken.de/
