I recently had to reinstall Linux (Red Hat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36) on my home
computer. I have a simple 2 node home network going and had the Linux
box sharing a printer, hard drive and cd rom with a Win95 (gasp)
machine.

Now I can't find the How-to pages to get this going again. I am running
Samba and can see the printer on the Win95 machine but can't print from
my Linux box to it. If anyone has any ideas or could point me to some
How-to's to do this again. I'd greatly appreciate it. (and this time
I'll print it out and save it)

Thanx

Check the smb log files. If it says something like permission denied,
check the printer's spool directory and make sure that it is writable by
the user that the 95 box has logged onto samba as.

1. I am a Linux Know Nothing, would like to know

you can shirnk your windows 98 partition and use the freed up space for
linux, then dual boot between the two (choose which to boot).. try
TurboLinux, www.turbolinux.com/orders/ you can grab the boxed set w/ manual
that walks you through every step of installing it, including shrinking your
partition, it also includes WordPerfect8 for linux.. you can also download
it via ftp and cheapbytes (www.cheapbytes.com) will have it soon as well,
though you won't get the book and probably won't get WP8.. as fors
creenshots, there are tons of places on the web you can find screenshots of
people's systems
