To set up a network printer attached to the HDA from Windows, you need to perform a few simple steps. Each machine that will need access to the printer will also need the drivers installed. This will be accomplished at the time you connect them to the printer. * 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 the end of '''''/var/samba/smb.conf''''' file and save: [printers] comment = ADDING AN HDA NETWORKED PRINTERAll Printers browseable = no path = /tmp printable = yes guest ok = yes ; writable = No create mode = 0700 printer admin =root * 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.
