No print to Samba (Linux) printer from Win98

[Mike Watson]

Well, it still doesn't work.  When I try to print a test page from the WIn98SE
box, I get an error message saying "no network name found" even though the share
name is present in the Network Neighborhood window and I've configured a Win98
printer entry for it.
