has anyone tried setting up a linux bux that hosted a printer and shared it to windows clients using SAMBA?

thanks all

I have an Ubuntu box hosting 2 printers shared using SAMBA with other Linux(Puppy) and Windows(XP) boxes. No big deal really. A matter of clicking on the right places.

Giunsa man nimo pag-install bro? Magkinahanglan gihapon na siya sa Windows driver sa imong printer pag-install nimo sa printer.

Makashare ka ug files og folders sa imong network? Basin man gud ug naay problema sa connectivity sa imong network pc's.

Didto sa Suse Printer manager, naka-share ang printer?

Please tan awa pod ang Printer device URL, it should be smb://WORKGROUP/nameofsusepc/Printer. Ug walay problema sa imong SUSE machine, this is automatically made when you install the printer driver in your Windows boxes. Pero check lang ghapon just in case.
