Printing from Windows 2000 to Linux

[Stephen Foley]

Hi Joe

Thanks for the help I finally found including the "print command" and 
"printing" lines fixed the problem

[printers]
         printable = yes
         print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r  %s
         printer = lp
         printing = BSD
         read only = yes
         guest ok = yes
         browseable = No


Regards

Stephen
