[CS-FSLUG] [Norton AntiSpam] Re: Old problem with Ubuntu, XP and Samba

[HildingE]

Thank You! Does this mean I have to create an account i Linux 
(eg.Ubuntu, which I like mostly) named "guest"? Actually I tried that, 
and believe it or not, my problem with password and CUPS in 
http://localhost:631 disappeared. And the folder "printers" , can I find 
that one on my XP machine? My last question; is it possible to use ipp 
(SSH-server) from my LinuxPC to connect to the printer on my XPmachine?
