[Samba] Printer in Win2k to share with RH Server

[Joel Hammer]

I don't know what kind of printer your C62 is.
Printing is simple, in theory.
AFAIK, the windows box will not filter your print jobs from the linux
server.
SO, you must filter the print jobs locally, then send them to the windows
box with smbclient, something like this.

cat file | Printfilter | smbclient //server/printername -c 'print -'

That's all there is to it.

Finding the right Printfilter is usually the whole problem. But, before you
bought the printer, you made sure it was supported in linux, right?

I know nothing about gimp drivers, but you seem to be in luck.
