Looking again, the syntax i think should be smb://trillian/brother.
However, even with that change the Linux Box wont print to the windows
share. The user is identical in name and password on both clients.
Windows doesn't appear to have any other properties to configure other
than check the radio button to allow the said printer to be shared and
give it a name. The latter in this case - "brother".
