Re: Printer Sharing, home network, Samba

I can't speak for LM18, but I've found that, as opposed to 'sharing' a printer which is directly plugged into one specific computer on the network, with LM17.3 it seems to be set by default to very easily set up a network printer if you simply plug the printer into your router / gateway via ethernet or USB.

Then, all that is required is to select the 'network' printer option in the System Settings >> Printers >> + Add for each LM17.3 computer.

It's so easy, even "I" can do it.
