Hello,
Can you please clarify you intentions a little bit more in detail?
'the setup windows printer on SL 6' can mean lots of things like e.g.:
- i have SL6 server and i want to share networked printer to windows (or
any) client by creating print queue on my SL6 server
- i want my SL6 laptop to connect to printer that is shared and has
printer queue setup on the windows 2008 server
- i want my SL6 laptop connect to other SL6 server that share its CUPs
printer queue via Samba
...
..
which is it :]?
for your other questions:
the nmbd is just a binary, one of multiple in the Samba packages (even
though one of most important).
if i may suggest, try:
service smb status
service nmb status
you should get something like:
[root@srv-022 ~]# service nmb status
nmbd (pid 7069) is running...
[root@srv-022 ~]# service smb status
smbd (pid 7080) is running...

I currently have installed
yum list installed | grep samba

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

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
