Re: Printing from SuSe Linux to WindowsXP print Server

Eric,

1. OS = Windows XP Pro
2. Network = Perr to Peer work groups
3. "echo | smbclient" = found during research; my
dreaming abilities are limited.
4. Linux experience = limited. I have a masters
degree in computer information systems. This is my
first Linux box. I was able to get file sharing
working. I have a bare minimum apache system up and
running. I host my own web and ftp site on windows.
I am moving the web part to the linux box. I am able
to have remote users log on the Linux box when
necessary. My internal network has three direct
connect boxes though a linksys switch and one wireless
laptop. All are window boxes except the one linux
box. I can use emacs and vi as editors; and others.
However, beyond the meager basic I am very green. I
live in Glendale close to 67th Ave. and Cactus
Samba Version = SMB/CIFS File Server 2.2.8a
Printing system = Was trying CUPS
So far = Tried a lot of things, mostly mucking
around.
