23 I had this set up when I was with my ex, both of which was stupid but
24 anyway. I don't recall having samba on mine either. I !think! there is
25 a USE flag or something then you set it up within cups. I can't recall
26 exactly how to do all that but it only took me two tries to get it set
27 up right.
