| 1197284 | 2011-04-26 12:38:00 | Setup ubuntu netbook 10.10 on a spare acer laptop at a mates place. They Just leave it running 24/7 so I thought I would make a handy print server. The print clients would be: Laptop (windows XP) Apple iPhone 3GS Apple iPhone 4 The apples are not necessary but it would be nice to have them work if possible. I managed to set up CUPS correctly (I think) according to several sites however under networks, windows 7 cannot see the Ubuntu machine or find the printer. I installed and probably not correctly, attempted to configure samba. No difference. The Ubuntu Machine can see the windows network correctly though. Can someone explain how to do this. I'm confused :D Cheers |

| 1197285 | 2011-04-26 12:51:00 | Should wait for ubuntu 11.04 its on out Thursday / Friday. Its an authentication prob From here (yonitg.com) from the run command or from a cmd window run secpol.msc go to “Local Policies” -> “Security Options” -> “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level” change to “LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated” Press the OK button |

| 1197286 | 2011-04-26 13:05:00 | Cheers speedy. Just tried it, It searched for a while before returning my local machine as the only PC. Might try tweaking settings ubuntu side in the mean time Re 11.04, Damn! I just finished downloading all the .iso's for 10.10 on the capless internet in china, i'll have to use my own :( I might be able to get it done before I leave though!! :D |

| 1197287 | 2011-04-26 13:26:00 | So did you install Samba? (www.unixmen.com) Try this (ubuntuforums.org). Bottom post |

| 1197288 | 2011-04-26 13:38:00 | I previously installed it via sudo apt-get install samba Bottom thread looks interesting though. I'll reinstall samba anyway. got mildly distracted, too much tweaking :p Not much chance of it being stable atm :D |

| 1197289 | 2011-04-26 14:40:00 | That appears to have done nothing. Its probably me doing it wrong somewhere. Never Mind. If I don't work it out I won't worry. They are perfectly happy plugging the laptop in when they DO print, which is hardly ever anyway. Cheers for the help speedy Curse the lack of cross compatibility :D |
