I have a small network with a Mandriva LE2006 box sharing files and 
printers with two WinXP boxes using Samba. The XP boxes can see and use 
the files and the Lexmark z22 usb printer attached to the Linux box. The 
Linux box can see and use the files on the two XP boxes and can see the 
two printers attached to these boxes, but not use them. One is a HP 
psc1300 printer and the other is a Lexmark z25. Everytime I try to print 
a test page to one of these printers, I hear the printer print a 
carriage return and that is it. I set the XP boxes to be able to accept 
print requests from Unix boxes. I have been trying to sort this out for 
a long time, doing a lot of research, posted the question on 
Linuxquestions.org.

Any ideas would be appreciated
