I am continuing to struggle with a strange SAMBA Printing problem. Here
are the details:
1) NT based clients can log on as guests or as users and can print in
either case with no problems.
2) Windows 9x clients can log in as either guest or as users and can access
shares with no problems.
3) Windows 9x clients attempting to print directly to the SAMBA printer
hang the print process and require a reboot
4) After capturing a printer port, the 9x clients can print by copying
either a text or .prn file from the command prompt
The Linux machine is running Red Hat 7.2 and the RAW printer is the only
printer installed.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
