File/Print Sharing help?

I am using Core 8 on my school network, and am trying to file/print share with another Core 8 user on the same network.

I don't know much about how linux works (I am new to it), so could somebody explain to me how to file share?

I have heard it involves samba, but that is about all I know.

Thanks.

<Linux> - Google Search is your friend. Use the force. :)

Search on NFS. That is how linux boxes share files between themselves.
You'll have to setup your export file and start the service.

Again do a search on print sharing between linux boxes.
You'll again have to make a few configuration changes and start the service.

Samba is only needed if you are trying to get file/print sharing between linux and windows.

For file sharing, look into NFS as suggested above. As for printing, you can use CUPS to setup a network printer and share it with other machines on the network.

Thanks for the help. I tried searching before, but I was obviously searching the wrong thing (Samba help and such)

Once again, thanks.
