Hi,

I need some help configuring our printer (on a Windows
server with samba)to my linux box using printtool. I
have the samba client on my linux box (Red Hat 8.0)
and can mount this server without a problem. However,
I get confused on the "share name" when setting up the
printer via printtool. Some of the howto's that I have
read show the share name as: \\computerName\\\\printer
while other howto's use \computerName\\printer.
Needless to say I am confused and would greatly
appreciate any help. 

TIA,

DaLy
