I'm a Samba newbie - file sharing is working great.
Can someone clarify something for me re printing.
I'm running samba on a linux box and would like to
be able to print to a Xerox printer hanging off a
Win 95 Client. I've read the relevant bit of
'Using Samba' (O'Reilly). There's one thing
I'm not too clear on.
Question is do I need to install a Xerox print
driver on my linux box, or can the linux box
effectively use the Xerox driver already
on the Win95 PC.
That is does samba feed the file to be printed
straight to the printer - or via the PC's
Xerox driver?
Any suggestions, or pointers to docs, much appreciated
Thanks
steve
