Hi, I am running Redhat 5.1 on my machine and I have configured Samba
to allow my dads windows 95 machine to use my Unix printer.  Now I want
to use his hp720.  I have run the printool on my machine to add a LAN
printer.

I have shared my dads printer on his machine with no password. I then
double clicked the same in network neighborhood and created a printer
in order to print to the share.

When I try to print a test page with the printtool I get the message

Printer error

The computer has lost communication with the printer.

On the Windows machine.

what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
