I'm running Fedora core 3 with Samba and Cups installed. I have a Windows
XP pro system with a shared printer. It's on an ad-hoc network of mixed
systems.
Windows based computers can see my file shares and printer share. I can see
my Linux file shares and printer shares from Windows. Linux can see my file
shares on Windows but not my printer. Why can't Linux see my Windows
shared printers?
I've tried killing both systems fire walls to no avail. I'm using modified
hosts files on my Windows boxes to block spyware & hijackers but I doubt
that should matter. Otherwise I'm using all default settings.
What can make my printers invisible to Linux?
Thanks,
Ric
