I am using Red Hat 8.0 with KDE, and I have installed samba-common and
samba-client packages, version 2.2.7-4.8.0. The Windows server is a
Windows 2000 Server with a HP LaserJet 4500. I can use "smbclient -L
//server -U user" to view the shares. After setting up in the Red Hat
Printer Config, now I can see the status of the printer is "Idle
(accepting jobs)" in the Print dialog, but whenever I print, nothing
occurs. Checking /var/spool/lpd/LaserJet4500/status.pr I found the
folowing lines:

What can be the problems? I tried searching in the documentation, but
found little information on accessing Windows printer from Linux side.
I am a newbie with Samba so forgive my ignorances.
Thanks in advance.
