I have recently installed 10.0 and was wanting to share my printer with the Mac OS X laptop on the network. I saw the new Samba configurator in YAST and thought that should provide an easy way to get the printer shared. Indeed, opening it suggested that the printer should now be shared by default. Checking the runlevel editor, however, showed that smb wasn't running, so I started it from there. Still no joy, however.
Can anyone suggest how to share a printer from a SUSE 10 box over the LAN? The network itself is fine - the two boxes can ping one another without issue - but the OS X laptop doesn't see any printers in its "Windows printer" config dialog.
I believe it is the nmb part that needs to be running. Make sure that is running as well. Once it is running any configured printers should should show up automagically. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
