====== Adding a printer via a Windows USB share ======
Scenario: I have an EeePC (obviously), a wireless router, a Windows XP computer (called Study) and a printer (HP 932c, called Printer) connected to the Windows box via USB.

First, ensure that the network is set up correctly. Follow the directions for [[howto:setupsamba|setting up a Windows network]]. 

  * Make sure both computers have the same workgroup name
  * Turn on the Windows computer and printer
  * Make sure the EeePC is connected to the wireless network

===== Open the Printer Settings =====
In easy mode, click the Settings tab and click Printers.

In advanced mode, click the Launch button, choose Control Center, then click Printers.


===== Add a Printer =====
  * Click the button Add...
  * Choose Network Printer and click Next>
  * Network Type is Windows, choose a printer name (no spaces)
  * In Path, enter (without quotes or commas) 

  "//", the Windows computer name, "/", and the printer share name. 
  In my example, it's //Study/Printer. 

  * You can find these settings by going to your Windows computer and right-clicking on My Computer and looking in the tab Computer Name (for the computer name), then clicking Start, Printers and Faxes and right-clicking on the printer to share and looking for the section Shared As (for the printer name).
  * Choose the printer brand (e.g. HP), and model (e.g. DeskJet 932c), then accept the suggested driver
  * Press Next>, then print a test page


===== Notes =====
This will only allow you to print when the Windows machine is on. You may also want to  plug your printer directly into the EeePC and add it as a local printer, since it's USB.
