I configured CUPS and smb.conf: [global] workgroup = workgroup netbios name = darkstar security = user smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb log file = /var/log/samba.%m max log size = 50 [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes read only = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = yes printable = yes browseable = yes To install the printer drivers on WinXP Pro, I launch the utility 6122_WIN2K_XP.EXE. All seems to go well, but when the program tries to create the net port for the printer, it happens an error and the process fails. I gave as printer address \\darkstar\\HP_DeskJet_6122. Darkstar is the name of Linux server. Is it enough, or anyone need more information to help me to understand the reason of this trouble? Thanx!
