Adding a Windows (SMB) Printer
Enabling your computer to access an SMB printer (the Windows printing service) involves adding
an entry for the printer in the Select Connection window.
When you choose to add a Windows printer to the Printer Configuration window (Windows
Printer via SAMBA), you are presented with a list of computers on your network that have been
detected as offering SMB services (file and/or printing service). At that point, here is how you can
configure the printer:
1. Select the server or group (click the arrow next to its name so that it points down).
2. Select the printer from the list of available printers shown.
3. Fill in the username and password needed to access the SMB printer. Click Verify to
check that you can authenticate to the server.
4. Click Forward to continue.
Alternatively, you can identify a server that does not appear on the list of servers. Type the information
needed to create an SMB URI that contains the following information:
 Workgroup??”The workgroup name assigned to the SMB server. Using the workgroup
name isn??™t necessary in all cases.
