I ran the command you listed and I did get a Positive Response from the
windows PC.
I typed smbclient -L EMACHINE
I tried to print a text document by typing the following line
lpr -P HPDeskJet Text.doc
This is just and example. HPDeskJet is my shared print
Text.doc was the document I tried to print
I did not get an error but the document did not print out
Is there something I'm missing here? Shouldn't be this hard to print something
