Hi, I did everything you told me and I can't print from computer that is running XP. I tried using a computer with windows 98 and it works. Is there a way to make computer running XP to print to a linux computer? Or what I am doing wrong
Are the WinXP users setup in both samba and linux? If not, the XP users do not have the necessary pernissions in Samba to access the printers.
Jose - add the users to the Linux system in the usual way - in the YaST Control Center under "Security and Users" and be sure to assign them passwords (the same ones that Windows uses!) Then, open a Konsole (assuming you are using KDE) and su to root. Run smbadduser and add those users. Then run smbpasswd and assign the passwords. Now the XP users will be recognized by the Linux system when they request services. One gotcha to be aware of: Windows allows capital letters and spaces in usernames and this won't work in Linux. For instance, my son's Win98 account was Shadow Devil - yeah I know it's funny, but he's only 10 and he thinks it's cool ;-) - and I needed to change the Windows account to shadowdevil so both systems would be happy.
I'm no samba expert by any stretch and there may be a quicker and easier way to do this, but this is how I set things up and I can share files between 2 Win98, 1 WinXP Pro, and 1 Win2K pro boxen.
HTH,
