I have done nothing about (deliberately) sharing the printer but I just browsed to my Mepis machine from Windows and I can see all of the shares including the printer. I suspect Suse would be similar Reg so why don't you try to browse to it and see what you can see (If you are the same Reg who brought your machine to a CLUG meeting a few weeks ago to get help setting up shares then we can assume that that is still OK) If you can see, as well as the shared folders, a shared printer then just try right clicking it then left clicking "connect". It will probably then say the driver is not available but you just select the appropriate Windows driver from there. > > I am confused. Happens to most of us. Be patient. Follow advice and let us know how you get on. Robert
