Re: Webmin question



> I wish I could add to this request. Unfortunately Boss will not let Linux
in the work place.

   Keep asking!!!! My boss was that way until about 3 months ago... Now I've
got one machine in place and running and a second one fixing to be deployed!
My best advise, FACTS, FACTS, FACTS! Show him where Linux CAN save him
money, keep his network secure and overall make life better.

   Grant it, im my case it took an outside force to "Force" the issue for
him but it still can be done.

can make many changes to the system but, I can not print yet.

guy (looks like a troll) keeps all the information to himself.

   Not a problem... Do Start, Settings, Printers. Right click on any of the
printers and select properties. Then click on the details tab. In there look
for where it says "Print to the following port" There you should see the
Novell machine name and name of the printer...

   How you connect Linux to that printer and send print jobs to it I can not
help you with. I haven't had time to play there yet! <G>

   On an outside shot, they might be connected using Windows shares.....

   Hopes some of this helps...
