My apologies for missing the reply and posting the same question again. Active Directory (on it's on accord) decided to delete the users here at work so the e-mail system was down for the day. I don't believe I ever received the reply.

Why don't you read what he wrote, and respond to it, instead of posting the same question to the list? You may also want to post an apology to possibly avoid being killfiled.

The windows machine has to use samba and somehow samba is not communicating with cups. I have looked at the cups docs and saw were I had to set change two lines in the [printers] section. I did that and it didn't work. > > I am writing from work so I don't have access to the smbd.conf file to post the printer section. > > Does anyone have had similar experience with samba, cups, and windows? > > Thanks > > John Miller > Software Developer > Phone: 612-547-7573 > Fax: 612-547-7580 > Mail Stop: T23 > MailTo:john.miller at rbcdain.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
