Just to be specific:
I have a ML-1610 Samsung printer attached via USB to my Linux Red Hat 9 box.
I have a wireless router that connects the XP Home lap top to the home network and this has access via a password to the directory /plans on the Linux box.
I want to be able to print a file from my XP lap top on the shared printer connected to the Linux box.
I hope this clears every thing up: I have tried all morning reading man pages to get this to work but no luck so far and I have given up!
Please help!
