Samba Print Problems


Okay~

I have samba configured correctly, and all of the correct folders and files are showing up. I tried to add a network printer today, and I have gotten it configured and it is now also showing up on Windows hosts. However, I cannot actually connect to them.

Is there anything I have to enable in samba, in cups, or just a network service to allow printing over the network? Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot,

Andrew
