Samba printing question...

[dugan at passwall.com]

Test the printer from your linux box. You can printe a text only job and
something with graphics from the Linux box.

Once you can print for the Linux box, *then* try to tackle printing with
it through Samba.

(suggestion from experience)

What happens when you print to the printer from the linux box diurectly
(text and graphics) ?
