In the [global] section you might want to add the following lines: load printers = yes printing = cups Also, you have the [print$] share for the printer drivers, but the $ at the end denotes that Windows machines will not see it when browsing... you can get to it by explicitely going to it (ie Start -> Run -> \\server\print$). DO NOT remove the $ sign as Windows requires it to be "hidden" in order to find the drivers properly. *Grant shakes his head*. More than that, you are missing the printer definition itself: [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes guest ok = no read only = yes create mask = 0700 As an aside, you have the "netlogon" share... unless you're going to be running this Samba server as a Windows "domain controller", you really don't need this.
