== Configuring a Printer Connected to a Windows System ==

−

If you need to access a printer which is connected to a Windows system you can easily configure Ubuntu ~~Linux~~ to support this. The first step is to visit the Windows system and make sure the printer is shared and find out the share name. On Windows XP select ''Printers and Faxes'' from the Start menu and find your printer. Right click on the printer and select ''Sharing''. In the properties dialog select ''Share this printer'' if it has not already been selected. Enter a ''Share name'' or note the name if one already exists. Then return to your Ubuntu Linux system.

If you need to access a printer which is connected to a Windows system you can easily configure Ubuntu to support this. The first step is to visit the Windows system and make sure the printer is shared and, ideally, find out the share name (though the Ubuntu Printer configuration tool will allow you to browse the Windows network to find available printers if necessary). On Windows XP select ''Printers and Faxes'' from the Start menu and find your printer. Right click on the printer and select ''Sharing''. In the properties dialog select ''Share this printer'' if it has not already been selected. Enter a ''Share name'' or note the name if one already exists. Then return to your Ubuntu Linux system.
