[Samba] Problem printing from win98SE client

[Mark Brosius]

I am trying to print to my HP 722c printer from a Windows 98SE client.  My
Samba server is a Mandrake 8.2 running version 2.2.3a.  I can print from
the linux computer but not from Windows.  I am able to save files to the
shared directory so I know that the networking is okay.

I can open the Printer folder from Windows and I see the Samba printer
there.  I double click on the printer to bring up the queue then I try to
print a test page.  I notice that the file does not appear in the queue.
I have tried changing my path from /var/spool/samba to /tmp but that
didn't seem to work so I changed it back.

I install the printer drivers from the Windows computer and not from the
Samba computer.  If I run smbclient //mark/printer -U[username]%[password]
I can get connected so I think the share is set up correctly.

The only other thing I noticed is that when I log in with the Windows
computer and I try to connect to either the shared printer or to the
shared directory it takes several seconds to display.  Could this be part
of my problem or is it a seperate issue?

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.  Here is my
smb.conf file.  Thanks.
