I'm not certain that I know how to explain this well enough so that someone will be able to help me, but I will try... I can't get cups to work... I've got a Lexmark Z611 printer... and it is attached via usb to a Windows XP Home computer... So, I think that I need to use SMB with this... but, am not certain how to do it.. I have SMB4K installed and started, it shows no mounted shares... There is an SMB folder in each person's directory (home)... including (root)... I see the share on the Windows XP Home computer and I see a folder named SMB4K -> MOMO1 -> All Users -> D (CD-ROM Drive) -> print$ (Not certain what this is for or what it does???) One the Windows XP Home machine, I can see the Debian (Sarge) computer.. in the Windows Explorer window it says, Mf.com -> debian1 server (Samba 3.0.14a-Debian)(Debian1) However, when I click on it to get in, it brings up a connectoid dialog box... Connecting to Debian1... User name: Mf.com\username ( I think that's right???) Password: Password However, it tells me that I have to put it into a format like this; Examples: User Name username@domain DOMAIN\username That's the SAMBA problem, that I can't figure out... I'm not certain, but I believe that if I could get SAMBA working right, then the CUPS problem might be a little easier... I would appreciate any help that I can get...
