Printing from a NT Workstation - a hack

[Andre Gerhard]

Hello,

To print from a NT Workstation connected to a PDC Samba Server, you
can do the following:

Log locally in the NT Workstation as administrator and install the
printer locally (not as a server printer) as lpt1.

Then, log in the Samba domain and execute the command:
   net use lpt1: \\SERVER\lp0

Where:
  SERVER: name of the PDC Samba Server
  lp0: name of the printer in the Samba Server (from [printers])


Doing this you will be able to print from programs like MSOffice,
 Wordpad etc.
