attach XP computer to network fror printing

[Michael Havens]

hmmmmm I was going to try it both ways but when I type in 'sudo
service smb restart' the response is 'unrecognized service'. I then
checked to make sure samba was started (sudo service smb start) but
got the same response. Then I made sure it was installed (apt-get
install) but it is at the newest version. What gives?

Please refer to the enabling of the guest account HowTo in:  http://unixwiz.net/techtips/samba-xp-printing.html  NOTE: I am assuming that these machines are protected inside your network, since it's usually a BAD IDEA to enable the guest account otherwise.  Verify your WORKGROUP and NetBIOS name in XP.
