I don't keep many emails (other than genealogy related ones) on my box
so couldn't find who had posted without looking at the LUG archives.

I posted the item in case it helped someone/anyone. Personally I had
no idea what cifs was or even that it existed.

I do have samba running and can access my linux box from my wife's
w2k system as a result. I may even be able to use the printer
attached to the w2k system via samba but on the rare occasions I need
to print a document I put it in a 'shared folder' and print it from
windows.

My wife uses the printer most so I have no need to get too involved
in getting it to work from linux - it probably does but apps like
OpenOffice don't seem to know 'outta the box'

I don't write stuff in OO but mainly use it to read MS doc stuff I
get sent so no urgent need to get printing working.
