 ===== Windows =====
-Open windows explorer, enter ''\\print'' in the address field and press the return key. A list of available printers should be listed. Select one of them with a mouse click. In order to install the correct printer driver you must know brand and type of the printer. Choose a foomatic postscript printer. (see GNOME below)
+==== Using the Samba Port for Printing ====
+**Operating Systems:** Windows XP, Windows 7
+<note important>The print server across samba is not properly functioning. Instead of setting "A4" as the default paper size, it is setting the letter format. This bug is hopefully being fixed in the next version of the server software.</note>
+==== Installation ====
+A samba server delivers printers to the Windows systems. This minimises configuration effort.
+  - printers distributed by Samba (SMB/CIFS) can be reached using the [[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Naming_Convention|UNC]] path ''\\print''
+  - by entering it in the __adress field of a Windows Explorer__
+  - then select the printer (brand and type) by double clicking...
+  - where possible, choose ''foomatic postscript'' driver
+  - in the advnced printer options change "Letter" to "A4"
+==== Problem ====
+As said above, some of the printers are delivered with "letter" format by default. Go to the prining menu of the respective printer (right click the printer in the printers list of your computer), click advanced, then change "Letter" to "A4".
