I am using Red Hat 8.0 with KDE, and I have installed samba-common and=20
samba-client packages, version 2.2.7-4.8.0. The Windows server is a Windo=
ws=20
2000 Server with a HP LaserJet 4500. I can use "smbclient -L //server -U=20
user" to view the shares. After setting up in the Red Hat Printer Config,=
 now=20
I can see the status of the printer is "Idle (accepting jobs)" in the Pri=
nt=20
dialog, but whenever I print, nothing occurs. Checking=20
/var/spool/lpd/LaserJet4500/status.pr I found the folowing lines:

Thanks in advance.
