Im trying to print from NT4 SP6a to Linux Debian 2.2, kernel
2.4.17-686-smp samba 2.0.7-3.4 (stock potato)

The setup used to work until this weekend when i rebuilt the linux box
with a new hd and re-installed. 

The kernel is upgraded from 2.4.9 but otherwise same version of samba
and debian.

problem is I cannot print a test page or a .txt or a .doc from either of
2 NT4 workstation boxes using word,
wordpad, notepad or test page button.

This command works fine,

copy dos.txt \\kascha\lp_text

as does

echo hello > \\kascha\lp_text

linux printing like

lpr /etc/printcap works fine

ive exhausted my samba books....

:/

[home] shares work fine on the linux box

so im stumped dead...

any ideas pls?
