I've always found dealing with Samba's shenanigans much more effort than configuring Windows to print to a printer using HTTP/IPP (i.e. CUPS). Quite apart from the mess that you need to deal with to get a printer going through Samba, it's yet another thing in the middle, and it's completely unnecessary. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
