Ed, Thanks , I did some checking and I have two other winxp systems each with printers attached, both can print on the other machine. I tried to follow someone who wrote about modifying smb.conf and messed it up so badly that I downloaded a default version from ubuntu 8.4 as can't find a default version for 9.04. ( Iknow i should have made a copy first before messing with it... sometimes I get too impatient ) Thanks for lead to the Samba set up I'll try and follow it carefully. I'll report results, Can I put on a 64 bit version if my system is 32 bit and a fw years old? Thanks again. ron
