couldn't find wps

Fri Jan 7 14:29:18 GMT 2000

I've looked through the documentation, FAQs and searched archives to
find that one other person has the same problem as I do, but I found no
solution.
I can share directories and my cdrom with no problem.

Problem :  When I try to print from my WIN95 machine (Linux server has
the printer and works fine locally [from linux]) I get the following
error message in the log.smb file:

[2000/01/05 00:41:32, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(208)
    younnie (10.0.0.2) couldn't find service wps

attached is a copy of my /etc/smb.conf file

I'm using Red Hat 6.1 and Windows95.  My Cannon BJC 610 printer is
physically connected to my Linux box and  works fine from there.

Please help me.
