Connecting to Windows Printer in Fedora Core 3


Recommended Posts

I know that I am using a pretty old version of Fedora Core, but it is the latest version of Fedora that runs well on my desktop.

Anyway, I'm having a bit of a problem connecting to a printer on a Windows 2000 machine (again, an old computer, but I never use it, it is just a print server). When I try to connect to the printer by SMB, I will type in all the appropriate information, click OK, and the same box comes back at me with all of the information I put into the box.

Been a while for me, could you post a screenshot of what you describe?

Also, make sure you can see the printer from your linux box. Open a terminal and do:

su

/sbin/smbclient -L (your windows server pc IP here)

and verify that it reports your printer share.
