Re: smb printing
Thanks for the reply it is working now. pete -- Someone esle can help you better than I can. Every time I think that perhaps we are an advanced race, I turn around and read ramblings on Slashdot, and realize I was wrong.
Re: smb printing
If you using CUPs, access http://localhot:631 and select add printer. Put the path of printer, that is in the machine with windows 98.

I have set the printer on one of the windows boxes to be shared over the network. Can I print from kde on debian and it come out of the windows printer? I am sorry if this is a little OT but I use kde and kde based apps (such as koffice) mainly and I just want kde to print. Thanks peter -- Someone esle can help you better than I can.

Re: smb printing
Assuming you have samba properly configured, you'll need to go to KControl| Peripherals|Printers. Choose the button that says Add Printer/Class. Follow the wizard steps to browse for and install your SMB Shared Printer On September 28, 2003 07:07 pm, Peter Nuttall wrote: hi, I have a home network that has two win98 computers and my debian sid box.

Actually, the easiest way to print to Windows is by using CUPS as printing system (which is the preferred KDE printing system), and the easiest way to set up that is kcontrol. So this is not really off topic. Go to devices/printer and simply add your printer, the KDE printing system is quite slick, so you can even set up remote printers as user as you should be used to from Windows. To make nifty things with the printer, like setting up a booklet printer, you could re-share the printer using CUPS drivers from Windows. Printing under Linux was complicated until KDE solved that ;) But be careful about the printer drivers, there are multiple choices for many printer, with heavily varying quality (For example, one of the Laserjet drivers always choked when I used booklet/n-up printing, printing at what looks like 30 dpi or so... at least my Commodore MPS 802 had a better quality.).
