samba - Aug 2000 - Beginner question: share a printer in Windows98

Dear all,

I have a samba in my RedHat and want the Linux to use a printer in another 
pc of windows98, I tried to configure that following "using samba", I 
created a file 'printcap', 'smbprint', '.configure',
what else I should do
to print? Do I have to configure 'smb.conf'? How to do that? Can I do
all
this from SWAT? Can anybody tell me in detail? I am new in Linux.

Ask your vendor.  Because it depends on your flavor of print subsystem,
and whether your vendor has done any of the legwork to get an SMB print
client working.  I don't know where Red Hat stands on any of this,
although I understand Mandrake has a gooey tool that does at least some
of the work for you (for whatever that's worth).  Debian Linux, as a
parallel example, has three print subsystems to choose from (BSD,
lprng, cups) and each must be configured differently for SMB printing.

I very much doubt it.
