How to get 11.2 printer to work with XP client

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello,
With 11.0 I got my wifes PC that has XP to use my printer doing as follows:

Yast > Network Services > Samba Server (Identity tab)
Fill in the same workgroup as the XP is set to.

Yast > Network Services > Samba Server (Shares tab)
Make sure the entry with the name “printers” under “Available shares” is set to “Enabled”.

This does not appear the same in 11.2, would anyone be able to tell me the new method? Thank you in advance.
