I don't understand what you mean. How do I send a print job from NT to the
fbsd samba-shared printer without LPR? I've set up a samba shared printer
on a freebsd box at home and the windoze 98 boxes can print to it with no
problems. I don't understand why my NT boxes here at work won't print to
a samba shared printer. The samba.org web site doesn't have any help info
about printer setup. I've got two samba books and 2 freebsd books, and
still
have trouble getting nt to print to that printer. I'm getting a bit
frustrated
by this. I've got 8 nt servers I'd like to have print to this printer.
Is there some online help on this subject? I'm sure I'm missing something
basic
somewhere, but don't know where.
Thanks for the help,
Chip
