If you want to print through your WinXP machine *without* Samba then you |
| 16 |
need to set it up to share printers with unix machines. Go to: |
| 17 |
Control Panel |
| 18 |
Add/Remove Programs |
| 19 |
Add/Remove Windows Components |
| 20 |
Other Network File and Print Services |
| 21 |
Print Services for UNIX. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This service will need to be started manually (from admin tools) or added to |
| 24 |
your start up list (Run: msconfig.exe). You may well need to configure |
| 25 |
your WinXP firewall for this and it would be a good idea to limit |
| 26 |
connections to your Linux box LAN IP address. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I believe the above should do what you want, but I haven't tried it myself. |
