Samba shared Printers

[stayler]

Well,

The final outcome goes something like this.

The items in Diagnose where no help, even the command line changes for
the print commabd never seemed to work.  The issue was an item in the
smb.conf file that didn't appear in any examples that I found with the
exception of one that I found on Google, there needs to be both a
"writeable" and " printable" = Yes for each printer and writable is
needed for all disk shares.  SWAT was little to no help in this regard.
 

It all working except Win2K and XP refuse to show the printers as
available evnthough they are and can be prited to by the offending
machines.  Must be more MS FUD.

Thanks for the info and suggestions guys.  They were appreciated....
