I have a G4 running Jaguar with a Lexmark USB printer attatched to it. I am trying to allow my wife to print to it from her Windows XP machine, but it doesn't see the printer. I can connect to the G4 and share files, but not printers.
I tried editing the smb.conf file in the terminal to allow printer sharing, but I don't have permission to do so. I am the only one that uses the G4 and I am the one that installed Jag on it. I always use the same password, but it doesn't work when trying to log in as root.
I managed to copy smb.conf to my home directory and uncomment the printer section. But now I can't copy the edited file back to the /etc directory. Any thoughts on a possible work around?
Thanks,
Kevin
