All printers on this network are shared and can be printed to by any
other windows machine therefore that aspect is OK (to the best of my
linux knowledge). The smbclient -L command is interesting in that the
result is not what is expected. From this linux box I can now
successfully print to the HP710 (smb network) printer, the machine which
shares this printer also shares the Canon. "smbclient -L" only shows
the Canon available, it does NOT show the 710! Given this situation,
the fact that the HP1200 laser is not showing with smbclient -L (on a
different machine) doesn't appear to give me any helpful information . . .
