Samba question

I know I didn't need to do a new post but I didn't want to delete the older posts so this one makes sense.
The bloke who run the printroom showed me I can reach a shell
Whole different ball and game now I don't need to know what I did before like what the printer can do what services it runs, how it can connect to the network eitehr network card does it have a serial card and the list of questions goes on.
So anyway this is what I was able to find out. This printer is running a compelete version of Solaris 8 running on SPARC (yes this is a printer) also it has Samaba installed
So all I have to do now is make it so Samba runs. I'm going to try tomorrow making it sop Samba runs as a deamon using,
smbd -D
Then I will try and mount the path on a windows machine. Then when that is done the blokes will be able to scan on the printer then put the scanned job into a directory path I choose for them. Then they go to the mount directory with Windows so they can then e-mail them off to the people they need to.
Running the smbd -D command will do run the samba thingy for me to be able to test what I am after? If not any other idea's on what i could try?
I will let you all know how this goes.
