First, sort of an apology. I ask for a fair amount of help and I really appreciate those that answer. My job does NOT require that I have any hands on Linux skills, although I'm very well versed on how and where to use Linux and how to build clusters. I try to learn Linux because I want to, somewhat as a hobby. Despite a room full of books and the Linux Documentation Project it can be a very daunting task.
I know that I should first read the How-to's, etc. I do. Unfortunately this often leads to greater confusion, not less. I've a fairly simple task ahead. I'm trying to retire my old NT box. However it still has a printer attached. My network is one W2K box, one WinME box and about 5 Win98SE boxes. The Linux box is a server and I've never worried about printing from it. I'd like to attach a Lexmark Laser Printer up to the server. If I read the Howto's they talk about the "print$" share for printer drivers. However, I find nothing in any of the sample SMB.CONF files, nor anything comprehensible in the files included with Samba. Could someone outline the basic steps needed to attach and share a printer to my Linux Samba server (which is up and running), starting right after I connect the parallel cable? By the way, if the correct answer is to install something like SWAT or some other Samba tool that's fine.
