Yeah it works! Im so happy
If anyone else stumbles on this problem
When you got to the part for entering "smb://..." type
smb://anonymous@computername/printername
- anonymous
- Keep it like this unless you want more security than you'll need username/pasword and have it setup on your windows machine which I have tryed but don't know how to do. Until one day(today) I have tryed to put "anonymous" and said "it would be a miracle if this would work" and it worked
, I was laughing because it wasn't obvious to me, and more of a joke to try.
computername
- Get this from on windows goto system settings, click on "Computer Name" tab and then look for "Full computer name" and use that, (Case sensitive I think). Also if you are in a different workgroup than you might need to specify the work group like smb://...@workgroup/computername... You can change your workgroup in the samba config file. On howto's it say's its in /etc/samba.conf I have it in /etc/samba/samba.config. If you change it you will need to restart your server (continue reading if your a newbe like me) cd to /etc/rc.d/ find the samba script. I have it called "rc.samba" to restart simply type
and bingo.
printername
- its the share name for the printer.
and don't forget to install printing services for Unix. I don't know if that is needed but I have it installed (comes on windows CD).
