Yes, I searched, but could not find an answer that I could understand or a answer that seemed to apply.
I've been using 8.04 for years but needed to run the latest Open Office so the last time the update thingy asked if I wanted to upgrade to the latest version I said yes. The upgrade went well except for the printing, so I killed the drivers, reloaded them and killed the HPLIB thing. After reinstalling the printer, and HP2025 it worked perfectly on my machine.
So far so good.
The problem is that Samba sharing a printer on 8.04 was very very simple with KDE 3.5. Trivial in fact. It took me seconds as I recall. Just share it in the Printer Module. Using KDE 4 whatever I have spent weeks trying to find a way to share the printer so that my wife can reach it from her Windows machine. I have seen the word "publish", but no where can I find how to do it. The options seem to have been eliminated from KDE 4, which isn't much of an improvement.
Where do I look? How do I set it up in 10.10 like I had it in 8.04 where I can see and connect to it from a Windows XP unit? A utility perhaps? It can't be that happy
My homebuilt dual proc AMD64 with 4 gig RAM was designed specifically for Linux and is pure as the driven snow, having never been touched by MS or any of it's products. It worked perfect with Linspire, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and a few others so it isn't a hardware problem.
Disk sharing works normally.. I can hit my computer shared disks from everywhere.
