no it doesn't, even NT to NT.  printing may be different.

hmm, i wonder if NT to NT uses different MSRPC calls or something?  the
onlly way is to obtain a comparative trace and work at it for several
days, maybe a couple of weeks, slowly working through the differences in
netmon traffic until you get it right.

personally, is it worth _my_ time to provide that functionality (unpaid)
when a simple solution is to rename the printer shares?  if there was _no_
alternative solution i might consider it.

thx,
