I am having troubles connecting to my wife's printer and could do with
some advice
Here is my setup.
My Machine - RHL9 with XD2
My Wife's machine - Windows 98 SE with a 'shared' Epson C41UX printer
We connect over a Linksys Cable router.
If I run up Win98SE on my machine I can connect to her printer no
problems. In RHL9 with XD2 I use the printer administartion options to
add a remote printer and go through the 4 steps and then it says "cannot
add printer" which is not the most helpful error message one could recieve.
Has anyone else managed to access a printer attached to a remote windows
machine?
I have tried the linux howto's but nothing gives advice on when a
problem, occurs.
Thx, Rob.
