    This might be a basic question but, I am trying to get suse 9.0 setup to share a printer connected to my win2k machine: I see the shares when I do an smb.

    I was following the directions found in:

    http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-smb-90.html

    to print through smb. It printed when I typed in the info (i.e echo ... | smbclient" ...) just fine.

    1. However I do not seem to have an etc/cups/printers.conf or /etc/cups/cupsd.conf only a client.conf
    2. Also I have not found anywhere in Yast to configure CUPS. is there a menu I am missing? If I can print to the printer from a console, does that mean I am running CUPS? http://localhost:631 just says an error occured.

    In:
    http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2001/06/jsmeix_print-cups.html

    it says " To switch to CUPS, launch the YaST2 module "Printers in CUPS" and follow the instructions. " I have not found this module...

    3. I entered the info from smb client (smb://netbios/share "pswd" -c"print" -n -u"user" -w "netbios":631 in one of the printer request windows (may have been control center for KDE) so now whenever I call it up anything that goes and looks for the printer kcontrol it goes into never never land looking for the printer. Is there a file I could delete it from to start over?

    I have searched the archives and googled.. Nothing I've found seems to help much
