Configuring Samba for Printing on WinXP Machine

[Tom Parquette]

Gerard,
Which version of Samba are you using?
I am by no means an "expert" but I I have been reading the O'Reilly 
Samba book.  I understand that XP security is basedon Kerberos 5.
I believe you have to start with Samba V3.

All I have is a couple of Win98 boxes.  No XP.  You now know everything 
I do about Samba.  :-)

I hope someone with more experence can educate both of us.
Cheers...
