i'm not sure if i am doing this correctly. earlier last night when i looked at samba shares it was blank. today i can see the two windows machines and i can access the computer where the shared printers are and they are not there.
what i did was enter yast/hardware/printers. i clicked on set up network printers then print via smb network server. i entered the workgroup name and what i thought was the host server name. is that the name of the windows machine where the printers are connected? then i added the name of the network printer according to the share name on the host machine. there is no user name or password to use the printer so i left those fields blank. when i clicked on the test button, i received the error message: your network access is not properly configured or the print server is unknown or unavailable. check the hostname of the print server or contact your network administrator. what am i missing? what else do i need to set for proper network access? dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.
