At Tue, 20 Nov 2001 it looks like Chris composed:

Yes, I have my wife and my sister in law both with Windows2000 
machines on the network here at the home and all they want to do is 
print and can't understand (and neither do I) why they can't. I have 
two queue's on the system too so I can try both.


I have rechecked all the users with reissuing their "smbpasswd 
<user>" etc also.


And once again this is an Epson 777 Color Injet that works great 
while plugged into my lan with a "mini" printserver attached to the 
rear of the printer with the static IP address of 192.168.1.99
