I've just switched from Red Hat to Ubuntu, and I need to know the commands to bring up, restart & stop the samba server.  I want to do this from the command line.  Please help.

just about every service you'll need to stop/start/restart is in /etc/init.d/ in debian-based distros.

I have Samba going and have my printer attached to my Ubumtu desktop. I would like to send print print jobs from my windows laptop through the router/dsl attached to the desktop. I have read a lot of suggestions but I do not understand most of them. Could someone try to dummy it down for me? Thanks Robin
