"specific to XP"?   Well, not quite.  In fact, that should have read 
"specific to *my configuration of* XP"...

At present we have rely on Hummingbird's "NFS Maestro/Solo" to access 
Unix drives - the reason I am experimenting with Samba is to reduce our 
exposure to this package.  Of course, NFS Maestro has it's own printer 
services.

By moving "LANMAN Print Services" so it comes before "HCLNFS Print 
Services" in HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Print/Providers 
everything works as per the docs. 

Sorry for any confusion caused :-(
