Since this is not really a Fedora question, but a Samba one, and a very basic Samba one at that, it is really a question that should be put to a General Linux forum/list, or a Samba forum/list. You might try posting this to the Networking forum at linuxquestions.org. But before you do, I have a couple of comments/questions about what you want to do that might help you formulate your question better. If this is truly just a "workgroup", then there is nothing for your Fedora to "join" as a "client." But maybe you mean an "NT Domain" with Samba as a PDC when you say "Mastered by a Samba." In that case I think you could get the basics done with some simple edits to /etc/samba/smb.conf: Change "WORKGROUP" to the name of your workgroup. Change the security level to DOMAIN. Point to your Password Server (PDC). Then join the domain with net join -S PDC -UAdministrator%password For more details on what this is all about, go here: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html#id2522092 As for connecting to a printer, have you tried printer GUI and SMB option? I cannot really help there because all my printers are JetDirect. But I'll bet the answer is somewhere in the "Official HOWTO" I've linked you to above.
