Re: Browsing workgroup from command line

Perhaps I need to rephrase my question.

There is a printer I want to be able to print to and then able to offer it
to the LAN through LMHOSTS.  I can print to it.  But I cannot share it
correctly unless I can see what name its broadcasting.  Past experience with
phoning up and asking the users has been discouragingly imprecise.

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA30 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on  (192.168.0.254):
(The 1542 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port       State       Service
21/tcp     open        ftp
23/tcp     open        telnet
80/tcp     open        http
280/tcp    open        http-mgmt
515/tcp    open        printer
631/tcp    open        cups
9100/tcp   open        jetdirect

What is actually need is the netbios name that this printer appears under.
