How to share files and a printer

Hi All

So loving Arch, wish i'd made the transition earlier ..... smile

Anyway, is there an equivalent to Gigolo in Arch and whats the best way to connect to a printer that is on a windows pc on a network ?  In Xubuntu it was easier ....

Many Thanks

Julian

Already looked at cups? Its web interface is pretty straight forward when connecting to a network printer.

See above...

The difference with Arch is that you are expected to do the work.

Please change your post title to something specific - vague titles benefit no-one: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … ow_to_Post
