samba printing

[Roman, James (J.D.)]

I set my printers up to bypass my NT domain and print directly to the
printer (using CUPS www.cups.org). Otherwise, your spooling documents to
your Linux box, then to the NT box, followed by the printer. This also
eliminates the need to deal with NT Domain authentication. I like cups
because it allows you to spool to HP's Jetdirect interface directly (on port
9100) instead of their flaky lpd port. Print a test page on the printer to
get the IP address of the printer.

To use SWAT, go to http://localhost:901

Samba Group,

I am interested in using samba to print from Linux to
printers on windows machines on a LAN. I read sections
of chapter 7 in O'Reilly's "Using Samba" book. Now I've
got some questions.

Samba's running on RedHat 6.1. It's on a LAN with the
printer attached to
an NT-4.0 server.

 Do I use BSD style printing or Sys-V style printing?

How do I use SWAT from the Linux machine that samba is on?

Any other suggestions for making this work?

Wayne
