[lug] samba

[Hugh Brown]

I did mean in the network neighborhood.  the fact that you can't browse
to it is consistent with not being able to print to it (at least windows
is being consistent).

What do the printer related lines in your smb.conf look like?

Also, I am using lpr (it's on a rh6.2 machine) not Cups.

In adding printers on rh7.2 machines, I remember an option to print to
an smb printer.  Can you get a linux machine to print to the printer via
samba instead of via cups?
