Yes I did.

I downloaded the file at the link the thread specified and followed the instructions.

When I go to the part about editing smb.conf the line of code they said should be removed was not there.

I do now have /lib/lindm.so.0 which is a symlink to /lib/libdm.co.0.0.4

It is displayed as a curved yellow triangle with an "!" in it. (Not sure if that is normal).

After I post this I am going to close everything and re-boot in case that is necessary for everything to play nicely together.

A little MS-like reboot and I now have gtksamba samba config in Network.

The goal is to make a printer connected to a Linux desktop visible to a laptop running WinXP (sadly necessary for the children's learning games).

Do I need to load something on the WinXP laptop or on the desktop actually physically hosting the printer or do something in CUPS?

Confused in FL ...
