I know you can share a printer attached to a Linux box with Windows machines on the same network by using Samba. But can a Linux box access a printer attached to a Windows machine?
If so, can anyone give me some general guidelines as to how to go about it?
I'm using SuSE 8.1
Thanks

Ken - Much depends on the version of Windows you're using. I have a desktop (with all my printers connected to it) running Windows2000. I activated the "Unix Printer Service" which lets CUPS access the Windows print queue as an "lpd://" printer. Works fine for me, under both 8.1 and 8.2. -- Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2/Kmail 1.5.2
