Default Printing to Samba share of the network

Hi all,
I have a LAN set up at home with BIND and DHCP running. As a result when
I plug in a new node, the DHCP server updates BIND and all hosts can be
resolved by name. My printer is an HP all in one, and the scanning/copying
functions aren't supported so I HAVE to run windows on the server I connect
to. When I open up Konquerer and visit "smb://bart", it opens up the samba
shares on my windows machine that the printer is connected to. Whenever I
try and add the printer via YaST and select Samba, it never resolves the
host. I don't need to use a workgroup, just the hostname of "bart", is
there any way to connect and view the shared printers?

Thanks,
Todd

Hey Todd,

Have you tried smb://ipaddressofbart ?
