printing on the network


I only started a week ago with Linux and to my amusement I have managed to connect to the network!
Now as a next challange, I am trying to use a printer on a Windows server, but after all the reading I still don't know how. I tried to add a printer through kups, but nothing worked!
Please help and thank you for your support.

You plug your printer to your linux box, and then modified the smb.config file that is in the /etc/samba/ (this is redhat9), the easies way to find the file is; in a terminal become super user and then do "locate smb.config". Edit it, here my samba config file

[global]
workgroup = QMAN-TXUN
guest ok = Yes
netbios name = SERVIDOR
load printers = yes
interfaces = eth0
; encrypt passwords = Yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
security = share
[publico]
comment = uso publico
path = /home/publico
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes

[homes]
valid users = %S
writeable = yes
browseable = No

[printers]
browseable = yes
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mode = 0700
; guest only = no
; guest account = usuario01
; path = /home/smbprint

By the way, you have to have samba running.
