printing to my windows machine

[Brad Fonseca]

UPDATE:

I turned off windows' firewall and tried the following:

[root at localhost linuxbrad]# smbclient -L 192.16x.x.xx0
added interface ip=192.16x.x.xx2 bcast=192.168.x.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to 192.16x.x.xx0 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)

I replaced the ip addresses for security purposes.  I still can't print.
