[Samba] WinXP. Ugh.

[Glenn Sieb]

I'm sitting here tonight trying to get WinXP to map a printer on a Samba share.

First off, one thing I find disturbing is that XP seems to be aware of 
Samba servers. When I open a window to one, it says on the window bar 
"Samba 2.0.7 (nameofserver)" *shudder*.

Anywho.

I'm trying to map to a printer, and it seems to take forever and a week to 
come up. I've managed to map our HP4550N and our Canon iR600 (tho it always 
says it's "paused"), but our HP8150DN is just being a PITA. I've sat here 
for over 20 minutes waiting for this open up, and I get nothing. I've tried 
this 3 times now (three separate reboots, three separate 
cleaning-out-of-registry-entries-pointing-to-that printer, three freezes 
for 20 minutes) with no luck.

Anyone have any ideas here? I really want to go home tonight :(

Thanks!
Glenn
