Print Sharing under 2.2 a3 [solution]

[Tom Syroid]

Thanks Jerry (and List). I seem to recall stepping through the README you 
refer to in 'a2' but having no success.

So I tried it again, and eventually got it to work. The two things I 
changed:

1.Had to 'chmod -R 777 ./samba (/usr/local/samba) before the driver would 
upload, and

2. Had to -read- the error dialog that popped up carefully. It was 
inserting my Win2K PRO CD, as that's the OS on the system. The dialog 
wanted a Win2K SERVER CD for the driver upload (????)

Mmm. Not pretty, not elegant, but I can now print.
