On and off, I have been trying to get Ubuntu, OSX and Windows on p2p file sharing. Here is a broke down of my network:

Three Windows PCs using Windows 2000 pro and Windows XP pro.
One Linux PC using Ubuntu 6.06.
Two Macs using OSX 10.8.6.

All Windows PCs have access to Ubuntu's files and folders.
All Windows PCs has access Macs' files and folders.

All Macs have access to Windows' files and folders.
All Macs have access Ubuntu's files and folders.

Ubuntu have access Windows PCs files and folders.
Ubuntu CANNOT access Macs' files and folders.

I get the Mac to share the Ubuntu fine, but I don't seem to be able to get the Ubuntu to share the Mac. In the network browswer on the Ubuntu PC, it sees the Mac, but once I open it, it is an empty window, none of the on the Macs folders and files shows up. On the Mac, in the Sharing preference, I turned on everything. What have I missed? Is the problem on the Macs or the Ubuntu?

Any help will be appreciated.

A sinilar question to the last post.

This one is about printer.

Here is my LAN setup again.

Three Windows PCs using Windows 2000 pro and Windows XP pro.
One Linux PC using Ubuntu 6.06.
Two Macs using OSX 10.8.6.
One HP deskjet 630c printer connects to a Windows desktop via USB.
One Epson Stylus CX4200 printer connects to Mac mini via USB.

All Windows PCs can print to Epson or HP
All Macs can printer to Epson or HP.
Ubuntu can print to HP (the one connecs to Windows desktop, BUT CANNOT print to Epson (the one connects to the Mac.


I did have it working for awhile but then it stoped working.

I tried this:
In the Ubuntu, in the printer setup, I added the Epson as network printer:
Use CUPS, in the URL I typed in <Mac mini IP address>:631/printers/Stylus_CX4200.
in the driver I used Raw-Queue-standard. (I think this is how I get it to work the last time.)

and

Use CUPS, in the URL I typed in <Mac mini IP address>:631/printers/Stylus_CX4200.
in the driver I used Stylus CX4200-Queue-Stylus CX4200.

None of the methods work.

Again, any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
