Thats the right idea, adding the machines IP addreses to their hosts files is also a good idea, thats /etc/hosts in linux - I don't remember exactly where in windows this file is located.
I'm pretty sure the mandrake wizards can help with sharing a printer, try looking in mcc
Okay, I'll give it a try. How do I find the IP addresses on either my mdk computer or the windows computer? Also, is there a good ("easy to understand for newbies, like myself") resource on how to configure Samba for printing?
Thanks

Just for clarification, could you explain your network setup a little more? How is the mdk machine connected to the laptop etc.
My mdk machine is physically connected to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable. The modem (brand: "2wire") is also wireless-capable. The win2000 laptop connects to the internet wirelessly (centrino) via the DSL modem. I guess that my real question is "how can I make my windows laptop print to a printer that is connected to a linux computer?"
Hope this helps.

My home computer is using 10.1 with a DSL connection. I also have a Fujitsu Win2000 Professional laptop (my work computer) that wirelessly connects to my DSL. How can I print files from my laptop to my printer (HP4L) without having to send the file to my home computer and then printing it from there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have some additional information. I edited the "epson.conf" file to specify the vendor and product codes for my scanner. I then ran Kooka (from root) and got the following output (sorry that it's so long but I don't know what might be significant, or not): The scanner still doesn't work but this feels like progress. : )
Any ideas?

Open a run window (alt-f2) and type: mcc.
I tried "mcc" but nothing happened. I ended up reinstalling 10.1 Community and that took care of the problem. As for the scanner, I've listed steps I took:
I typed "sane-find-scanner" and I got the folllowing:
[alex@172 alex]$ sane-find-scanner
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

I then typed "scanimage -L" and got this response: "device 'epson:libusb:002:002' is a Epson flatbed scanner."
So far, so good. I then installed the "iscan" package. It didn't run so I edited the "epkowa.conf" file to include the vendor and product code. Iscan then loaded but when I clicked on preview, a small blank window came up for about a minute and then I got this error message: "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status". I then uninstalled iscan and am now back to having linux recognize the scanner but not being able to use the scanner.
In looking up a manual on using USB devices with SANE (http://www.zevils.com/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+sane-usb), there is a comment about libusb only being able to access the scanner if it's not claimed by the kernel scanner driver. It then says to unload the kernel module for scanners. I'm not sure how to do this. I also found something about using a "hotplug utility" to set permissions. I don't know if permissions are the problem but it that would help, how do I use these utiliities?
Sorry for the long post but I thought that it might be more helpful.

I meant use MCC -> Hardware to install the scanner. Also have you tried to run xsane as root? There may be a permissions problem.
I tried running xsane as root but it said that no scanner was found. As far as installing the scanner, I have a separate problem regarding MCC. The icon for MCC suddenly disappeared and I can't figure out how to run the control center. The other system-configuration menu items allow you to install/update/remove software but there is no separate menu choice for installing hardware. How can I put the icon for MCC back onto the desktop panel?

Is it a usb scanner? Did you use MCC to install it? Do you get anything when you enter the command, as console, scanimage -L?
Yes, it's an USB scanner. I used MCC to install the packages. When I typed "scanimage", it reported back that no scanner is detected. I just reinstalled "iscan" and when I typed iscan from console, it said "could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's staus."The scanner is plugged in and turned on so I'm not sure what is happening.

sane is on the cd's. I'd also install xsane, a nice gui frontend.
I tried using sane and it doesn't recognize the scanner. I currently have the following packages installed:
libsane1-1.0.14-3mdk
sane-backends-1.0.14-3mdk
xsane-0.93-1mdk
Do I also need to reinstall the iscan rpm? Should I have any other packages installed? BTW, I am running Mandrake 10.1 Community.
-
Besides checking where the rpm was saved also consider using the sane packages. I used to use iscan for my epson 1660 photo, but have ended up using the sane drivers.
Where do I find the sane packages and which version would be most appropriate?

I just purchased an Epson 3170 scanner and downloaded the driver. When I try to installl the driver (from root), I get "unable to open...no such file or directory exists."
This is what I typed in...
rpm -i iscan-1.12.0-4.i386.rpm
How can I find out where the rpm is located? (I'm a newbie, so explicit instructions are appreciated!).

Thanks to all for the advice. I just bought an Ethernet Card (Linksys) and it was smooth sailing after that.

I just installed Mandrake 10.1 Community (download). There is an icon on the desktop for my scanner, but when I launch Kooka, there is no option for selecting the scanner. I then tried using the Control Center to configure the scanner manually. On the list of scanners, the Visioneer shows up, but not my model. I tried to select the model number closest to mine. When I clicked on the selection, I get a message that states "The Visioneer OneTouch 4800 USB is not supported by this version of Mandrakelinux". I get the same message if I try any other choice under "Visioneer".
Is there any way to get my scanner to work with Mandrake?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The modem does have both connections but my computer doesn't have an ethernet card. I did find out from 2Wire, the maker of the modem, that it should work if I configure the internet connection for DHCP. How do I go about doing this? I'm a newbie so I would need fairly explicit instructions. If all else fails, I 'll go out and buy an ethernet card but I prefer to try out the DHCP route first.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
I just installed Mandrake 10.1 Community but it doesn't recognize my DSL connection. My DSL service is through SBC (San Francisco Area). I'm using a USB DSL modem made by "2Wire" (model 1000HW).
I tried to add a new connection through the "Control Center" but I don't know which choice to use. The ADSL choice only sends me to a list of countries (none of them USA) in order to select a provider. The other choices require that I select a network card (which I can't do since the modem is connected to the computer using a USB port)
I'm only able to post this message because I can still access my service using my laptop running Windows 2000 Pro (the modem is wireless).
Please Help!

Thanks. I now have the IP addresses for both of my computers. I looked at MCC but it's confusing. There are several choices but none of them say "samba". For example, under "Network and Internet", my "Internet Connection Sharing" is already set up as "etho". There is nothing else that says "samba". Where in MCC do I enter the IP addresses so that my computers can see each other?
