Mepis 3.3.1.1 (Debian Sarge)
My printer does not show up in the Samba "Share Browser" automatically. Each time I boot Mepis, I must open "Control Center>Internet and Network>Samba Configuration" then login as root and go through the config to the point of opening and ok'ing printer edit. It always shows my printer and "All printers shared" After saying ok to that without changing anything, that window closes and "Apply" now appears instead of being grayed out. click Apply and go back to "Share Browser" and now my printer is under Mepisgrp>Mepis.
But I have to go through that every time I start Mepis. There must be a way to save that setting so it stays active through a reboot.
Any help?

The problem was solved by adding network printer w/ipp (ipp/http) in Mepis, then setting it up in XP. I had to change the url from ipp to http in XP before it found the printer. It is working fine now.sprucio wrote:If you are using CUPS, then you could always use IPP.
What does your smb.conf file look like?
Thanks
