Title: Printer
Post by: Jehu on November 23, 2002, 12:54:26 AM

I cannot access the printer on the e-smith box.  Was working find....in server manager panel the printer shows as N/A. On my win2000 box it says access denied in red letters.  I reinstalled it and still not working.  I even reboot the server and that was useless. I had to connect the printer to my Win XP box so my daughter could print her homework.
Need help.

Thanks,

Jehu.

Thanks a lot everything is working now.  I recreated the printer and deleted the old one...gave it a different name.  In run on my win2000 box I type  \192.168.x.x and saw all the shares including the printer. I right on it and click connect and it worked...I had to install the driver locally...still don't know how to get the drivers on samba.
Thanks for you're help,


Jehu.
