[Wlug] Cups, FC6, and networks, oh MY!

I'm not following this whole thread, but you need a printer entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf to share it with windows folks

Thanks for the thought...

How much is interchangeable between the 4M and 4MP?  I know that my
printer doesn't have anywhere for a JetDirect card: it's got a
parallel, AppleTalk, and serial port at one edge on the back, and on
the side, it's got two (empty) memory slots...

I'm mostly wondering what I need to do to get FC6 to share this printer
(that is, the LaserJet 4MP) with other computers on the network.
