i added the arguement and nothing happened except that i was not able to add
a printer with the domain user nor as a guest..

and i dont really have any print shares.. i tried setting it up.. and it
wouldnt work.. so this is the only printing config that i have.. and it
works just fine..

any ideas how to fix it?

thanx a lot,
anna

your smb.conf
