[Samba] Re: printing via embedded USB printserver

[brian gerkey]

hi,

Regarding my question below, it turns out, after a little nmap'ing,
that my printserver also speaks lp on port 515, so I don't need to use
Samba.  However, others may still want/need this question answered.

        cheers,
        brian.
