thanks am trying this out sir…
This might be worth a read:
Printer Sharing: Samba Print Server for Suse/openSUSE 10.x Linux & Windows Clients
Or if you prefer IPP then maybe:
Linux Printer Sharing: Suse/openSUSE 10.x IPP Print Server for Linux & Windows Clients
How’s it going Greeny? You must be quite the expert by now.

thanks sir SWERDA in advance
more power
IIRC it’s not “guest = ok”. So I leave you with a little research 
ok ill try it with guest = no…
thanks sir SWERDNA…
ill just research more…
Since you are trying to connect to a HP printer you need to download HPLIP-2.8.x and run INSTALL SOFTWARE.
I speak with some background as I recently got my wireless network with a print server on the printer to work. This a starting point for you. Hope it helps and works for you.
hi sir
i already did wht u said…its already intalled in my susebux and is printing ok…wht i have having prblems in cnnecting from an xp unit …i can install but when finished an error goes up …“access denied, cannot connect:”

Read the section titled “Set up the Samba configuration file on the server” on this page and compare with your smb.conf

What’s the IP addressing on the LAN, like mine is 192.168.5.1, 5.2, 5.3 etc. What’s yours?

Your smb.conf looks ok, although if it were mine I’d add a server string (e.g.
server string = “Suse10.3”) you can assign server string to anything you like,
leaving that parameter out defaults to a rather long string with release
numbers for Samba. So lets look at some other sources of problems.
Have you opened all the needed ports in the Suse Firewall? Swerdna’s site
has information on this. Double check what you set just in case there is a
typo.
Have you used the add printer wizard in Windows to add the printer. You
need to install the drivers on the Windows Machine. This may require the CD
that came with your printer if it is not in the Windows data base. I assume
that you DO NOT have the Windows print drivers loaded into your Samba server,
so follow this:
When you run the wizard choose LOCAL printer (NOT Network) and uncheck the
plug and play box. Under Port, choose “Create a NEW port”; make the port
type “local port” choose “NEXT” and enter the path to your printer in the Box:
\<Server><printername>. Server is the netbios name of your Suse machine (in
your case, susebux and printername is the name of your printer (to locate your
printername enter \<server> in IE and you should see the names of your
shares). Finally choose the drivers for your printer ( You may need to get
them off the CD that came with your printer ) and finish the install.
I hope this helps.
