Hi,
all printers in my network are connected to machines running Windows and
i have no local printer connected to my Linux box.
I know that this can be accomplished by using Samba. I have Samba
services running on my PC and i'm able to connect to some network file
shares on Windows computers, but i cannot get to print on those servers.
I've tried to use the FC2 printer config. utility to connect to a
network printer using SMB protocol. But with no success :(
I'm fairly sure in saying that only the samba client is required for this (and cups of course -
if your using cups.)
If you use kde then as long as cups is running the kde printer config tool should be able to
setup a printer.

I think i have both samba client and cups running. How can i check?
On the other hand, i'm using gnome desktop. I've tried to connect to a
printer with the GUI utility with no luck :(
Any more help?
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]$
Or just the "service" command:
[root@starfleet doc]# service cups status
cupsd (pid 27784) is running...
[root@starfleet doc]# service smb status
smbd (pid 4981) is running...
nmbd (pid 4985) is running...
[root@starfleet doc]#
