Basically you need to: 1) Make sure that printing works on the Linux side. 2) set up a [printers] section in /etc/samba/smb.conf, so the printers can be shared. Samba will read /etc/printcap to find out which printers are available, so a simple entry like [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no path = /tmp printable = yes public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 should do the trick. Depending on your requirements you may (or may not) want to make it public or browseable. man 5 smb.conf is your friend. HTH -- Karl E.
