Gotcha.  No Windows LPR clients.

The problem I've always had with Samba has been permissions.  I can never
see to just share something to "The World" so that I don't have to give a
username/password when connecting to the share.  The same for printers.
Maybe it was just the versions of Samba at the time.
I guess I'll just have to make sure I've got the most current version and
read the heck out of the manual.

Just out of curiosity does Exceed 5 have an LPR client?  I have that loaded
at home.

Thanks for the help!
