Greetings, Im unable to find documentation on this problem im having. I have a usb lexmark z23 printer connected as a local printer to my linux box. I enabled print sharing in samba. I can see the printer in network neighborhood so I went through the connect process which set up the printer in windows. Now when I try to print a test page i get a communication error saying the printer cant communicate with the computer. I read some stuff about permissions but i dont think this is a permission error. the field for printing to the following port has this in it lpt1: (\REIGNLexmarkZ23. that points to the printer showing in network neighborhood. I cant find anything that is helpful so if someone could address this matter i would be grateful, or if you could point me to somewhere that has information on my problem. Im running mandrake 8.2.
