Suse 10 Printing to windows shared CanonI560


Could some one give me an idea on how to config suse 10 to use my XP printer.
In Work group setting I have the name of my work group.

Under the host setting . I'm lost I tried the name of the windoz box as it apears in SMB
Windows calls the printer Canoni560 I put that in the 3rd box

Test is timed out .

Then I tired localhost in the Host Box . It pinged some thing but failed to work.
I have a router with DCHP If I use the Windoz Ip address will it work?
Thanks Allan

You need to insert the IP address of the server where the printer is located. Most likely will be in the format 192.168.0.xxx.

Yes I tried that .
And I put the name that windows uses for the printer in the next box . When I hit TEST I get an error all about either a bad printer name and at the bottom of it Bad NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
It pings and says the IP addy is good .
Could it be the Windows Fire wall?
