WOOHOOO!!!! Excuse my excitement. I thought I was going mad (the only one with this problem). I've had this problem for a while now. The Samba mailing list archives and Google showed heaps of hits with these problems, but not one of the solutions worked for me. Even this list never replied to my quest for help on this, and knowing how friendly they are here - I can only assume no-one had a clue. BUT - here's a weird one. My problem was with a shared Epson Stylus Color 880. When logged in as me, I couldn't print (access denied and couldn't create print job errors). Loggin in as some other users worked, some not. VERY weird because I'm like a superuser everywhere and people with LESS priveledges than me could print!!! I tried another driver locally on the PC. Bingo! I could print. I'm using a standard Windows Epson Stylus 860 Driver now. The official Epson 880 one doesn't work. (Well, it does on win9x PC even as my user but that's another story). I'm strongly suspecting it has something to do with the status monitor communications (which I can't turn off in the Epson Driver) with the server. The Windows driver doesn't invoke the status monitor. Just a guess - but maybe you could try a standard Windows driver? --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services P/L -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
