Using ps aux | grep service is how you can check to see if they are
running.

[gufymike@gmike gufymike]$ ps aux | grep cups
root      1920  0.0  0.3  8788 1656 ?        S    Jul21   0:00 cupsd
gufymike 16162  0.0  0.1  3584  604 pts/102  R    01:42   0:00 grep cups
[gufymike@gmike gufymike]$ ps aux | grep smb
gufymike 16164  0.0  0.1  3580  580 pts/102  R    01:42   0:00 grep smb
[gufymike@gmike gufymike]$ ps aux | grep samba
gufymike 16172  0.0  0.1  3580  580 pts/102  R    01:42   0:00 grep
samba
[gufymike@gmike gufymike]$

Can't help you with the actual connection, sorry. Even tho they are
running this is a standalone computer with no printer.
