hello, I am going to try an experiment with printer sharing. I will like to know how to share a printer installed on a fedora machine? by the way aside from printer I had one more doubt. if I share a folder of a fedora machine via samba, is there any thing additional I need to do for accessing it from another fedora machine?
When sharing to another Fedora system, u neednt use samba. CUPS can share to CUPS via IPP. and if it's FC6, it automatically broadcasts and finds all shared printers on the local lan. u need to just mark the printer as shared in the printer config screen. Have a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing for some ideas. Also, if you're talking of sharing files, there are a number of alternatives, starting all the wa from the oldest and most powerful NFS to many newer solutions., like the personal file sharing built into FC5 and above. Do give it a spin.
