| 200617 | 2003-12-15 02:05:00 | Greetings, Ive got a Vector Linux 4 setup here, running a VERY cut-down Xfce4. Im trying to setup smb access to a printer on another WindowsXP Machine. In linux, how would I mount the printer that's currently on this XP machine? Ive done smb shares and mounts from the command line, but printing escapes me? Cant install Redhat-config-printer as my version of python is out of date and I really cant be stuffed updating the long list of packages ATM. Thanks in advance (BTW - Its a HP5550) Chill. |

Then man samba.conf will tell you the format of that section of samba.conf. |
