    We just recently installed Linux Redhat version 8, on two PC because we got
    fedup with windows so we are really, really new to this and just don't know
    what else to look for. We are still running WinXP on the two laptops and
    Win2000 on a desktop.

    The problem we are having is that the printer is connected to one of the
    WinXP machines. All of the windows machines can print, but the Linux boxes
    can not.

    When we setup the printer in CUPS it says

    'unable to connect to Samba host will retry in 60 seconds...:Success'.
    Device URI: sbm:/Mufasa/hppsc2200

    Does this mean that it actually connected or that it is just going to keep
    retrying until it does??

    When we do a test page it just sits there processing and never prints. We
    are using Samba version 2.2.5 and CUPS version CUPS-Sam-1.1.15. The windows
    printer is a HP PSC 2200, we are using the driver for the Hp officejet R65,
    Foomatic + cdj1600, because we could not find a driver for this printer.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, we have just run out of ideas. Thanks
    for any help you can provide.
