Have you tried testing samba connectivity from the commandline? If the printer is known as \\bigserver\printer to windows users. try: $ smbclient -L bigserver [hit enter at password prompt; you should then see a list of shares including "printer"] $ w > /var/tmp/w $ smbclient //bigserver/printer -U windowsusername [put your windows password in at the password prompt] print /var/tmp/w If you get the output of the "w" command, then the basic connectivity CAN be established and you just need to work out how to configure CUPS on Fedora to see that printer. Check out http://www.cups.org/cups-help.html . If you can't get smbclient to connect to the printer, check out the samba troubleshooting steps at http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/ .
