Listmates,
I hope you can help me with sharing a printer with a Vista (yeah, I know LOL) machine. This is occuring both on Suse 10.3 and 11.0 - I can print from windows with no problem yet when I try to look at the print queue it says access denied.
Look at the print queue from within windows?
Looks like maybe I somehow have the queue set up as write only but I didn't intend to!
Not sure what you mean.
any ideas?
Let us know a little more - I have printers setup on Win2K and Vista shared to my openSUSE workstations. This page had some great info to help me setup: http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtosambaprint.html Basically, on the Wintendo side, you setup a shared printer, enable unix printing support, open port 631 in YaST, make sure cups has a password (lppasswd), and setup your printer either via samba or lpd. I've found using lpd works better for me you end up with a printer attached to an address like: lpd://ip.address.of.wintendo/PrinterQueue -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
