Printing & Samba 2.0.7

[Shane Machon]

Greetings,

The DOS program is client/server program running from the linux server
and accessed by the windows clients on the network via tcp/ip. There is
simply a shortcut to the program from each client to access the program
from the linux box via samba. All printing is contolled by a mapped LPT
driver on the client computers. The printer configured in samba on the
linux server is a HP 6L Laserjet.

The samba server is simply a PDC/fileserver for windows clients on the
network.

Hope this is what you are after. Let me know if you need more info.

Cheers,
Shane.
