[Samba] Possible Bug?? (was: Win95 & Win98 - NOT WORKING - NT ,2000, XP are ok)

[peter.a.bryant at mainroads.qld.gov.au]

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew, I was hopeful,
but removing the writeable made no difference.
Still prints from NT, 2000, XP  but not from Win95, 98.

Any other ideas?

I think Samba is treating this like a file-share for non-NT
(non-spoolss) printing.

Well, I'll start by saying that this last statement will probably just
confuse things - it might turn it back into a disk share.
