I have read the articles about Samba, but can not figure out how to cinfigure it so I can share my printer connected to the pc. It found my USB printer and I am able to print locally, but still in need to remote printing.

I found an article on how to setup the printer using samba, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Yup, I have trouble with remote printers too. I'd be very interested in the answer to this query!

Good Luck,

I found this and so far it's got me furthur than any other document. I can now see the printer from the network, but when I try to print it throws an unknown error. Also I could not update the mime types file, which could be my issue. The file will not allow it's self to be saved.
