With some help from Mike klinke and a MacNN Tutorial I found ( I used this with Win XP and Win98) this is what I did to get my windows printer to work with cups I added a link: ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb restart the cups daemon Open cups admin by going to http://localhost:631/admin Add Printer Name - the printer spool name Device - windows printer via SAMBA Device URI smb://worgroup;username;password@win-computer-name/name-of-printershare Next choose printer type ect. Hope this helps. Linda -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
