[techtalk] Printing from Linux using Samba 2.0.8 to Win2K

[Mandi]

M$ changed a bunch of stuff with win2k. (not better, just different...)

If you can, try upgrading to samba 2.2, which just came out within the
last couple months.

win2k uses additional information when authenticating users to services
that nt4 didn't.  you might try the samba mailing lists or samba.org.
they tend to document all the things m$ doesn't want you to know.

good luck.
