Hello,

I am not able to print in a Windows PC from another Linux PC

I have installed suse 9 (I am not an expert on commands)
I have:
-one PC-1 with XP connected to a printer (Epson440 parallel). This printer
is shares in a windows network perfectly
-one PC-2 with Linux suse 9 (and XP)
-one HUB
-one router for ADSL
-the network configuration was given to me by the phone company. Fixing IP,
DNS primary secondary and gateway

- I have intalled SAMBA client and server in PC-2 with linux.
- I am able to see PC-1 files and PC-2 server (one to each other)
- I am not able to print in Win PC-1 from Linux PC-2.

- I follow intructions (or I think so) of this Suse link

Printing via SMB (Samba) Share or Windows Share
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-smb-90.html

I follow the test and works. (I am able to print "hello" via commands)
echo -en "\rHello\r\f" | smbclient "//NetBIOS-hostname/share" -c
"print -" -N


BUT    I am not able to print normally.

I configure (my excuses because my Suse is in Spanish and perhaps Yast2
commands do no match exactly):

I go to "Yast2/hardware/printers/new printer/smb" (I left in blank-
workgroup, user, pasword)
-Two posibilities:
1-I search machines (only find PC-2, the Linux one, and gateway adress) I
use gateway one. I printers only find PC-2 (do not work test nor probe).
2-I use IP "PC-1 with XP". and printers  find PC-1(Epson), looks better.(do
not work test nor probe).
-I think spooler is in CUPS mode

1-Each time I make changes in YAST2. Should I restart Linux?
2-Should I make something in Windows?
3-Any help will be welcome. (please remember I am not an expert on commands)

Thanks very much for your Help/Support
