[Samba] NT, 2000, and XP can print - 9x can't!

[Vince Warde]

I work exclusively in the area of small LANS (5-10 machines max) where 
security is not a major issue.  Therefore I have always created simple 
smb.conf files with share based security.  I am also a newbee to Linux - 
most of my experience has been with SAMBA.

Re: My current problem, I have set up the system with both open and root 
only shares.  All clients can view and write to the open folder shares.  I 
have also tried to make the printer available to everyone - but only the NT 
based clients (NT4.0, 2000, XP) can print!  9x clients can see the printer, 
they can connect to it and/or capture it, but no matter what settings I use 
on the client side the print process locks up.

As you might expect, I am using client side drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The smb.conf file follows.

Thanks much!
