[Samba] re:smbprint problem

[Paul Tykodi]

Dear Rishard,

Before checking for TCP ports that need to be open in your firewall, you
might want to verify that the client can still ping the server hosting the
Samba based shared printer.

The error message suggesting that the share process is not working for the
client might be related to a general inability to reach the actual machine
in your network that is hosting the shared printer rather than a specific
port being blocked.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
