Well currently it does contain samba, and there is a smb.conf file in /usr/local/samba/lib

Just updated that, and then start smbd and nmbd and you should be able to connect to n800 via samba. You might want to grab a startup script from somewhere and start it on boot, the startup scripts are not included...

In order to do the reverse you need an application that supports browsing the network, although command line tools are there.

In KDE using the browser you can browse the network for fileshares, its actually quite nice to use. I downoaded my KDE tarball ripped out samba/cups/gs and then replaced them using my cups tarball and its working great, new kde tarball will follow soon

Penguinbait: Do not spent too much time on this Windows shared files access... Why? Blame on Chinook... :D

After you install it you have to setup ld.so.conf and issue ldconfig and start the cups daemon as described in the first post of this thread...

I've fixed the debfile in http://www.debernardis.it/n800/cups12_armel.deb - now can be installed from the application manager.

Re: HOWTO - Printing From the Internet tablet to Network Printers

make sure /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf If it is not, add it and run ldconfig

Is it possible to have it run ldconfig after deb install?

Add a 'postinst' script to the package. It can typically check/change permissions and directories, run ldconfig, and, for this system, it should presumably also start the printer daemon. The one below is what I use for the 'lprng' package, presumably it should be something similar for 'cups', but with the additional ldconfig.

The lprng postinst script (Maemo version):

Code:

#!/bin/sh



set -e

case "$1" in

    install|upgrade)

    ;;



    configure)

        # Create directories for pid file

        if test ! -d /var/run/lprng; then

            mkdir /var/run/lprng

        fi

        chown root.lp /var/run/lprng

        chmod 0775 /var/run/lprng

        for fname in `ls /var/spool/lpd 2>/dev/null`; do

            if [ -d $fname ] ; then

                chown -R lp:lp /var/spool/lpd/$fname

                chmod 0700 /var/spool/lpd/$fname

            fi

        done

        chown daemon.lp /var/spool/lpd

        chmod 0700 /var/spool/lpd

        for fname in lpr lprm lpq; do

            chown root.lp /usr/bin/$fname

            chmod u+s /usr/bin/$fname

            chmod g+s /usr/bin/$fname

        done

        if [ ! -e /etc/printcap ] ; then

            cp /etc/lprng/printcap.example /etc/printcap

        fi

        ;;

    abort-upgrade)

        ;;

    *)

        echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2

        exit 0

        ;;

esac



# Have to manually start lprng as a failed startup is not a failed install

if [ -x "/etc/init.d/lprng" ]; then

        update-rc.d lprng defaults >/dev/null

        if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then

            invoke-rc.d lprng start || true

        else

            /etc/init.d/lprng start || true

        fi

fi
