What is the easiest way to have WINXP Pro box access
an HP812C printer on a FC2 box?
- I only need XP to use the printer, not see files -
I.ve got samba running, but now what? is it required
to share directories to make it work?
What I have done so far:
smb.conf now reads:
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = MYGROUP
#server string is the equivalent of the NT Description
field
server string = Samba Server
# This option is important for security. <...>
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
# if you want to automatically load your printer list
<...>
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
# It should not be necessary to spell out the print
system type <...>
printing = cups
<...>
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
# Un-comment the following and create the netlogon
directory for Domain Logons
; [netlogon]
; comment = Network Logon Service
; path = /home/netlogon
; guest ok = yes
; writable = no
; share modes = no
# Un-comment the following to provide a specific
roving profile share
# the default is to use the user's home directory
;[Profiles]
; path = /home/profiles
; browseable = no
; guest ok = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to
print
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
XP still does not see the FC2 box / samba, which is
running.
Any advice appreciated,
kate
