[TriLUG] Inter-species printing problem

[Jeremy Portzer]

Here are some things to note about this:
1)  The command to switch printer systems is redhat-switch-printer .
2)  The redhat-config-printer tool in RHL 8 doesn't configure CUPS, so
you'll have to use the web-based interface.  However, this will probably
change in the next release of Red Hat (judging by the beta)

Also, can you mount the windows box's SMB shares?  There might be other
samba/smb problems.  Can you connect to the share with "smbclient
//windowsserver/printsharename" ?
