attach XP computer to network fror printing

[Michael Havens]

Okay.... you want me to tail samba's log. I stated I didn't know which file
to tail..... but then I just realized you wanted me to tail samba's log and
I know how to find that! but I don't know which log to tail. (the complete
list of logs is at the end of this) I am going to give you the tail of the
logs for the two that I think it might be:

     /var/log/samba/log.192.168.0.2 <-this just return through
     /var/log/samba/log.sonydesktop

those are the ip of the xp and the machine name of the XP. Let me know if
I'm wrong.
