Hello everyone, has anyone been able to share a printer between a Linux box running Samba and a Windows 2000 box? I have my printer attached to my Windows 2000 box and I can see the printer in my LinNeighborhood program. My question is what do I have to put in my smb.conf file to be able to print to the printer from Linux? Thanks...

I don't think you need anything in your smb.conf file if you're sending a print file from Linux to Windows. Did you try using printtool to configure a Windows printer from Linux?

Check out the man page for smbprint.
