[CS-FSLUG] Network printer sharing with Windows

[Nathan T.]

Hi everyone, we just got a laser printer on sale and we need to be
able to get to it from all the computers at home. We have a network
set up, but we need to get a Mandrake 9.1 box to share it over the
network.

I set the printer up in Mandrake using printerdrake, and told
printerdrake that the printer should be shared on the network, but
then it wasn't visible from the windows machines. I made shure the
samba (smb) daemon was running and even went looking through the list
of available Mandrake packages to see if I could find any solution but
so far nothing.

The printer works on Mandrake, but isn't visible across the network.
Putting Linux on all the computers isn't an option since my sister
refuses to use it, and some of my homework requires Windows specific
software.

PS. I have already searched TLDP, "printer sharing" didn't return any results.
