Hello,

what i did was enter yast/hardware/printers. i clicked on set up network printers then print via smb network server. i entered the workgroup name and what i thought was the host server name. is that the name of the windows machine where the printers are connected? then i added the name of the network printer according to the share name on the host machine. there is no user name or password to use the printer so i left those fields blank.
See http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printing_via_SMB_%28Samba%29_Share_or_Windows_Sha... and http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_-_No_Printout_on_the_XP_Client
By the way: If you use special characters (e.g. @%:/ or spaces) for your Windows hosts, workgroups, shares, user names, or passwords, it may not work because such characters may invalidate the CUPS DeviceURI, see "man smbspool" and for basics about CUPS see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell

These two URL's are great. I have SUSE 10.0 talking to a local printer. I want to use SAMBA to allow an XP machine to print through it via a share. Is the first URL above the best one to help me do this? I got the TUXNET showing up on XP but I never did get the printer running. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
