* Connect the printer to the HDA (parallel or USB) and ensure it is powered on. It should automatically detect the printer and set it up for you.
* As user ''root'', add the following lines to '''''[global]''''' and '''''[printer]''''' sections of '''/etc/samba/smb.conf''' file and save. If the '''''[printer]''''' sections does not exist, add it to the end of the file. [global] printing = cups printcap name = /etc/printcap load Samba should be set up already for serving printers = yes cups options = raw [printers] path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes public = yes writable = no * Restart the Samba server by executing '''/etc/init.d/smb restart'''
* Next go to a machine on your network that you want to install the printer. For Windows, from the ''run'' option, enter '''\\hda''' followed by your user ID and password if required.
