I do remember your previous travails with Samba. I'll keep this suggestion, but, until I figure out the mount problem, I think I need to put my limited time resources there - that's affecting other tasks as well - I needed Samba to print out my tax forms, but, that need ends today as today is tax day in the U.S. If you poke your head out the window in the direction of the big pond to the West, you might be able to hear the collective groan of millions of Americans struggling with their last minute computations (here in the U.S. around 1/3 of the taxpayers wait until deadline day to file). -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
