[Wine]Printers and setting up Windows partitions (from Derek's advice): 5/18/2005
When I will network my printer-connect Windows computer to my Mandrake/whatever Linux computer, I would have the following as facts: 1. Samba is needed 2. The CUPs program is needed 3. Konqueror with the Lisa "protocol" (shall I say that?) would help, but it's not preferred. THis is where I'm at a cross-roads. From what I've read so far, Kon is the only thing that's to human terms). First off, it says it won't concentrate on small things like Windows, or a filesystem, it will concentrate on an IP address. I'm contemplating a problem right now, as this Windows computer is DHCP-enabled. Does that mean it will refuse to induct the computer if the IP address is not the same? I know my questions seem challenged, but I need them answered. And here's one for Derek: if I put Wine into the /usr partition, it's wise to put the Windows on the /mnt/windows or /home section, correct?
