Marshall, I'm no expert, but let's see what we can do anywise. ;) I've no experience with SuSE (yet), so please bear with me. YaST may be a great tool, but I think we may need to go "under the covers" (meaning CLI) to get you going. Your "echo | smbclient" command is a good start. Is that something you found somewhere, or did you dream it up yourself? IOW, how much linux experience do you have? Knowing that will help me formulate questions that will help lead to the solution. Samba's apparently working ok. What version are you running? Is your XP version Home or Pro? Is your XP system setup for domain logins or simple peer to peer? (These questions may not be relevant, but I'm curious) I'm guessing at this point that the problem is within the linux printing subsystem. Which one are you using (lpr or cups)? What have you done (so far) to define/configure the printer queue? That should get us going toward a solution. Let me know the answers and we can go from there.
