Hello :),
I have a very strange problem with printers shared via Samba. My
configuration:
- A Samba 2.2.8 server under Red Hat 8 as PDC
- Windows clients 9x/NT/2000/XP
All work fine: The clients can log into the pdc, access to its
shares and printers... butt.... in some W2k/XP I realized that
when a samba printer is configured as the Default PRinter in windows,
MS ACCESS 2002 can't open the reports. Other programs crash when they try
to print.
Buuuutt....if I configure 2 printers in the Windows Machine:
- Default printer = a local printer
- other printer = the samba printer
And then I select the samba printer manually when I want to print (ms
access reports for example) works well...
strange, huh?
