Hi All; For any of you who have been following this thread. I have the problem fixed; by making sure the samba configuration was entered correctly (Thank you James, Anne and Tom) and then finding the following tutorial on the linuxprinting.org site http://www.linuxprinting.org/~till/printing-tutorial/tut.html#1_4 " 4. 1. Sharing the CUPS queues to Windows clients You also need to take care that the names of all your printers are not longer than 12 characters. If a queue name is longer, edit /etc/cups/printers.conf to modify the queue name and then activate the change with the usual "killall -HUP cupsd". CUPS has no on-board tool to rename print queues, but some other printer setup tools, like "printerdrake" in Mandriva Linux, have." My printer was named "psc-1310-series---1" -- 19 characters in all. It wasn't the name I originally gave it. The name appeared several months ago after I had been experimenting with 'something'. Probably supplied by kudzu or Anaconda or something else. It worked, so I left it. In any case, it is not a name I would choose. So something in Fedora hasn't read the Samba or Cups manual. It could have been a combination of things, but as soon as I renamed my printer HP-psc-1315 (11 characters), WindowsXP could find my printer. -- Regards Bill
