Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as files and printers, among multiple devices on a network. You need to use it to configure the machine as a shared printer on an SMB network. Depending on your network, you may have to set the computer name and workgroup name.
For more information about the basic operations to be performed when setting the machine from the Remote UI, see Setting Up Menu Options from Remote UI.
Configuring the Computer Name and Workgroup Name
Specify the name of the machine on the network and the name of the workgroup it belongs to. If your environment does not have workgroups, create a workgroup in Windows and enter the name of that workgroup.
