Sir/Madam

I wish to setup a windows printer on SL6.

I currently have installed

yum list installed | grep samba
samba.x86_64                  3.6.9-169.el6_5      @sl-security
samba-common.x86_64           3.6.9-169.el6_5      @sl-security
samba-swat.x86_64             3.6.9-169.el6_5      @sl-security
samba-winbind.x86_64          3.6.9-169.el6_5      @sl-security
samba-winbind-clients.x86_64  3.6.9-169.el6_5      @sl-security
samba4-libs.x86_64            4.0.0-63.el6_5.rc4   @sl-security

I am not entirely what I need to start to allow samba to access windows printer

I did find

http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=221

However I do not appear to have  service nmbd

I do believe I have sl-security configured

========================================================================
in /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo

[sl-security]
name=Scientific Linux $releasever - $basearch - security updates
baseurl=http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/$basearch/updates/security/
http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/$basearch/updates/security/ http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/$basearch/updates/security/ ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/$basearch/updates/security/
#mirrorlist=http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/mirrorlist/sl-security-6.txt
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-sl file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-sl6 file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-cern

===============================================================================

yet a yum install nmbd tells me no package available

That renders the rest of this page useless

Therefore some help about howto setup samba client
to access shared windows printer.

Would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely
