Slackware <-> Windows Hello!
Quite new to Slackware (9.1). I also run Win98 on the same machine (dual
boot). My wife's computer is WinME. We have a small network mainly so we
can use each others' printers and share the internet connection. Works
perfectly when we're both running Windows, but I'd like to get things
running when I'm using Linux as well. In fact, I have to. My local printer
is a NEC SuperScript 660plus which linuxprinting.org describes as a
doorstop. My wife has a Lexmark Z43 installed, which I would like to use.
But I'm out of my depth trying to get my Linux computer to see her Windows
printer.
At the same time, I'd like for her to be able to see my NEC printer even if
I'm running Linux at the time, since she can often make use of the
relatively cheap $/pg on the NEC compared to the Lexmark. (I can see that
this part is more of a Windows question than a Slackware question, but
maybe someone here has worked out what's needed?)
Is this doable? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Nick. |
