Kovar, thanks for the reply. I had been trying to add a second printer
on the windowsbo x rather than change the location of the first.
Everything seems to work now:  I can now print from either machine.

However, this arrangement makes it _much_ slower to print from the
windows machine, which is where 90% of the jobs will come from.  So
I'd like to move the printer to the windows box but I don't know how
to debug this problem where pages sent from linux via SMB are
truncated near the end.  This seems a less common problem than simply
having trouble getting printing to work at all, so I will re-post it
to the lists.

List folks please Cc: me as I'm not subscribed to either of them.

Thanks again,

Rob
