Mandriva Network Printer and Partitions

fredmarkle · 05-18-2005, 06:09 PM

I have just switched over to Mandriva Linux on my PC, so I'm very new to this. I have everything running pretty smooth. But I have a PC upstairs running Windows 98. I was wondering how to share my printer and hard drive partitions with the Windows 98 PC. I'm using and router also. Could anyone explain it for me.
Thanks,
Fred

Add the shared printer in your /etc/smb.conf file.

If needed, you could also set it to use client-side drivers (on the windows pc). The default smb.conf file usually contains an example line for this. If you do this, be sure to install the printer drivers on the windows pc(s) you want to access it.
