hello,
recentlly installed SAMBA on my mandrake 9.1 machine and am trying to print using printer attached to windows xp machine. i've gotten as far as i can see shares on SAMBA server from explorer and can log into windows server see output:
root@Thinkpad eroica]# smbclient '\\DELL8400\Downloads'
added interface ip=192.168.1.101 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.1.100 ( 192.168.1.100 )

smb: \> dir

etc...
but i cant print even though i see printer share :
[root@Thinkpad eroica]# smbclient -L dell8400
added interface ip=192.168.1.101 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

from the output it looks like i am pretty close but i'll be damned i cant print and if i use konqueror i can only see shares if i use ip address of xp machine. i also cant get a listing of directories in konqueror. any suggestions most welcome. i had the printer hooked to an old win98 machine and printing worked fine on the same samba setup .
