Hi Rocky,

If Gnome, - gnome-cups-manager. If KDE, start 'control center'
Peripherals > Printer > Add Printer.

In both, select Networked Printer, Windows share and enter server
address, username, passwd and printer type.

that should get you started...

Thanks for your reply!

I'm using KDE. There are 2 options for network printer. One is network
printer(TCP). Another is newwork printer w/Ipp(IPP/HTTP)

In both options I entered smb://server/ppp(my windows XP working
printer name) as printer address and In the subnetwork field I input
192.168.1. after that I hit scan but it tells me:
"you are about to scan a subnet(192.168.1.*)that does not correspond
to current subnet of this computer (127.0.0.*) .Do you want to scan
the specified subnet anyway?"

It seems that my debian network configuration is wrong? Can any of you
help me on this please?

Thanks,
Rocky
