printing to my windows machine

[Jing Su]

you can see the shares by doing:

smbclient -L <name of windows machine>

I don't know Mandrake, but if there's a printer setup utility, it will
likely have an option for setting up a SMB printer.  Just point it to your
windows machine and you should be able to print as normal.
