Hi all,
I've been trying to configure CUPS to add network printer on windows machine
without success. Right now I use mcc (yes it's mdk :)) to set it up, but when
I click "search", there's nothing shows up.

This is also the reason as you know why I try to "migrate" to Suse by
dualbooting it in hda10 :)
But using Yast, I can't find the network printer either :(
I can add the printer directly by typing //pcname/printername, but CUPS
doesn't ask me for printer brand and type at all. And, when I try to print to
it, the data transfer lamp on the printer blinks but nothing is printed.

Can you help me here pls? What steps should I take to add network printer in
Mdk. Can Yast do it out of the box? I have samba installed, but I haven't
touched the conf file.

Pls help me to love linux more :)
