Victory! Yahoo - wowee - yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh - wappa doo wappa doo - yippee tie yie yay!

I can finally print from the downstairs Fedora 19 laptop to the printer on my upstairs Win7 desktop.

After a gazillion stabs in the dark, I discovered Samba wasn't browsing the Windows network. Went to Terminal, ran Python - and voila - Could browse the network, find the printer, install it, and finally squeeze the warm earthy clods of victory in my hot little hands.

Yeehaa!

Moral: keep googling and eventually you'll find something useful.

time for a drop of Cointreau!
 
Way to go!

 
Gary - install python-smbc.

Once I did that, I could use system/config/printer to browse the smb printers on the Windows machine.

Sounds like tech version of the Lion King. :crazyeyes:
 
WOOHOO!!!

...I never considered Fedora doesn't stuff Python into the O/S as part of the load. CentOS does. My bad, Tom. Apologies!

Persistence PAYS! Glad ya got it sorted.
