I have to press the add button and add manualy. It doesn't show up in LinNeighborhood, but I can navigate to an empty folder in Konq (/home/usr/mnt/<host>/<shared resource> Isn't there a way that I can get these drives to mount on my desktop as a drive without having to do LinNeighborhood, manually adding the shared resource and then using Konq to navigate (at startup)? I would like it to work the way my Win 2k partition just pops onto my desktop at startup. I see that LN has an "-m" command in the command line, but I am not sure how to go about this. I also see in the read me file that LN can't mount printer shares. Hmm.
Are you giving LN enough time, and double-clicking on the WORKGROUP name? sometimes it can take half a minute to find the shares. Having them pop on to the desktop in Windows is nothing - I presume that's just read from a config file somewhere. When you click on them in Windows, it has to go looking for them too. Others here may know more about it than me, but I would have thought it might be possible to use smbmnt in your boot.local file, or even smbclient in fstab. If I were you, I would get it all working first, and then start refining it - this goes for the printer shares too.
Any ideas how I can print to a shared printer? YAST2 can't seem to find either of the HP printers on the LAN :-(
It is possible to use CUPS to print to a shared Windows printer, but although I keep meaning to try it, I've never done it. Perhaps someone else here can give you a few pointers. Kevin
