Vista to Samba print problem
I've set a PC with linux, actually SUSE using KDE and have installed a printer that I want to share. It works OK from the Linux PC and I have networked an XP laptop and set up a print share and can print OK from that too.

But I can't print from Vista. I have a laptop linked into the LAN and I have installed the network printer. But when I try and print, it fails saying " the printer box has not responded, but the print may be OK and do I want to proceed". Both Yes and No answers give a problem!

I spotted a suggestion in a forum somewhere saying I should edit the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
and change the value for the option "LMCompatibilityLevel" from 3 to 1. But when I did that it still didn't work

Any suggestions

Are the Vista, XP, and SuSe machines all in the same Windows workgroup?

EDIT: On the Vista machine, can you see the SuSe and XP machine in the Windows network?

Peace...
