[Samba] some simple samba problems

[christopher j bottaro]

ok, i tried to resolve 1) by adding "use client driver = yes" to my [printers] 
section.  now when i click on the printer in windows, it says "ready".  good.  
but when i actually try to print, nothing happens.  bad.  what do i do?

thanks,
