[Samba] LPR or LPRng or CUPS

[John Schmerold]

If you're using Win95 or Win98, recommend you use Xerox's client 
application to print to LPR or port 9100 queues.
It can be downloaded at:
ftp://ftp.tekcolor.com/ftp_dir/ALL/W9/1.1.6.14/XeroxPMen9x.exe

I found some interesting information regarding print server ports at:
http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/sco/lp/printservers.htm
Make sure you poke around his web site for very interesting information 
regarding the Netgear print servers.
