Re: Print to Windows XP with Fedora Core 3 -- Use the Printer

[Tom Dison <fretinator@yahoo.com>]

When I print to a Win2K or XP box via Samba from a
Linux (or BSD) box, I have to put in a domain with the
user name (even though the boxes are not in a domain).
So, for instance, if I am printing to a window's box
named BELFRY, I have to put in BELFRY\username. If the
box is in a real domain, then of course I have to put
in that domain. Thus if the domain is DISONS, I would
put DISONS\username. Maybe it's just me!
