Setting Up SMB Clients
Chances are good that if you are configuring a Samba printer on your Linux computer, you want
to share it with Windows clients. If Samba is set up properly on your computer and the client
computers can reach you over the network, their finding and using your printer should be fairly
straightforward.
The first place a client computer looks for your shared Samba printer is in Network Neighborhood
(or My Network Places, for Windows 2000). From the Windows 9x desktop, double-click the
Network Neighborhood icon. (From Windows 2000 or XP, double-click the My Network Places
icon.) With Windows Vista, you open the Network icon. The name of your host computer (the
NetBIOS name, which is probably also your TCP/IP name) appears on the screen or within a workgroup
folder on the screen. Open the icon that represents your computer. The window that opens
shows your shared printers and folders.
