[Samba] OT - LPD for Windows ...

[C.Lee Taylor]

	Well, to tell you the true, for NT/2K/XP does have both client and server 
for LPD.

	I have found a few none-free solutions, but this holds back a few clients 
from sharing printers, because they can't afford the lic's. Win9X is the 
place I am looking most.  Just FYI, there used to be an LPRng port to 
cygwin, but I can't find it now, only a google cache, but no binaries.
