For a while there was a conflict going as to whether a shared printer in XP cold be used on a Fedora machine through normal CUPS sharing. Well I case I am the only idiot who did not know this let me clarify the process for you all. This works only if you have IIS installed on your XP machine but IIS is not installed by default when you install XP. Thanks again to Markku Kolkka for pointing me to the answer. -- ======================================================================= Seek simplicity -- and distrust it. -- Alfred North Whitehead ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
