Hi, I have three computer connected by DSL modem which also act as router. 2 other machines are windows xp home edition and I have just installed the FC4 in my machine form which I want to share my HP DeskJet 3550 printer to two other machines. This is the first time I am trying to share my printer in FC4. Printer is all set up and printing good in my FC4. In the printing configuration, I also checked the printer to be shared. I have also checked the "Allow Samba to share users home directory" in "System Setings > Security Levels > SE Linux Tab > Samba". When I browse the networ from XP I need to login using to see my shared home directory and I can also see the printer there. The problem starts here: When I double click the printer icon, it asks me to install the driver and also warns me about incorrect driver in the linux machine, so I installed the driver from the disk it came with printer. In the last part of installation ( when its time to show the printer properties page), it terminates with error that "printer is not accessible" but the printer is installed and set as default. When I try to opne the prnter properties, the properties dialog box is full of garbase characters. Well, I am stuked here. Can anyone guide me on proper way to share the printer from FC4 (Somehting like Printer Sharing for Dummies). I tried to look on older REdhat book about print sharing but it seems, its cahnged significantly. Thanks in advance. Deepak K.
