My SuSE 9.0 Linux box is connected to the Windows XP box via Samba.
Everything works, except for access from the Linux machine to the printer on
Hi,

Try this:

1- instead of IP adress use XP-net-name (the name of your XP computer in th
net)
2-when you in the screen your printers go to advance and change spooler from
Cups to LPRng
3- do not try test until finish all process. Try later starting Yast again

(sorry for my english)
regard
Alejo

There are two entries for the printer, HP and print$.
I have the printer setup in yast2.  When I run Test remote SMB access I
get a 'connection to ffc failed' error message after being told that pinging
worked.
...
I have at least two questions:
What is the correct name of the remote queue (I've tried both HP and
print$ and get the same result)?
...
Whay won't this work (admittedly a rather general question)?
Thanks in advance
