[Samba] Print Options for All Users Can't Be Set on Windows 200x/XP
Hi everyone This is a simple question by a person who knows nothing about windows. The solution is at http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS- printing.html#id2618536 Under the heading Print Options for All Users Can't Be Set on Windows 200x/XP My problem is step I. Open the Printers folder Where is this? the only thing I can find is "printers and faxes" in control panels. Am I missing something really obvious? why can't microsoft just use unix? tony

Am I missing something really obvious?Yes - it's the same thing. It was renamed from "Printers" to "Printers and Faxes" in XP (or maybe Win2k) but everyone still shortens it to "Printers". Just keep following the steps and it'll be pretty obvious if you're in the wrong place. There's also a step missing on that page - between C.1 and C.2, they forgot to mention you need to right-click on the printer (i.e. step B.2 needs to be copied and inserted in between C.1 and C.2)> why can't microsoft just use unix?Yes... Cheers, Adam.
