I'm not following this whole thread, but you need a printer entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf to share it with windows folks ----- Original Message ---- From: Bill Smith <wsmith@chezsmith.com> To: wlug@mail.wlug.org Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 8:29:07 AM Subject: Re: [Wlug] Cups, FC6, and networks, oh MY!

I've got an old LaserJet 4M myself. Ran nicely for years, before the rollers started putting junk on the paper. It's also got the JetDirect card as well, so you can just put it onto the network.

I'd be happy to sell it off for a nominal sum, say $50? But let me check that the darn thing is still in the basement... This would give you spare parts if anything broke on yours.

Thanks for the thought... How much is interchangeable between the 4M and 4MP? I know that my printer doesn't have anywhere for a JetDirect card: it's got a parallel, AppleTalk, and serial port at one edge on the back, and on the side, it's got two (empty) memory slots... I'm mostly wondering what I need to do to get FC6 to share this printer (that is, the LaserJet 4MP) with other computers on the network. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com "Free will is an illusion.
