Hello all

    I am experiencing severe problems for printing stuff under Linux
Mandrake 8.0 and windows.

    My network: 1 mandrake linuxbox (MDK 8.0), several macs (everything OK
for them), 2 windows ME PC's all connected together.

    Samba file sharing works perfect from windows to Linux. But printing is
impossible (nothing occurs. Samba SMBD and NMBD daemons are running, of
course. I can print from the locally connected printer from the linuxbox but
LAN printing : nuthin'

    So my question is: What can I do to make things work ? Should I install
CUPS or should I Samba-print using LPR ? and how.

If someone can help, it would be REALLY appreciated. Please find below my
config files if this can help...


Many thanks in advance.
