Hi William, as many have pointed out already, SAMBA is a neat way of connecting your UNIX box to your Windows network. In case you do not have it installed on your computer yet, check out www.samba.org In addition to the download area, their documentation pages are quite well written and should be very helpful. There is an alternate solution to your problem, which works extremely well also: since you are trying to print through your Linux server, I assume that you can print from Linux. In that case, you are probably running one of the lpr print daemons. In that case, you can use this existing setup (without installing SAMBA), and simply make the Windows machine be a lpr client computer (just as if it was another UNIX system printing to your Linux box via lp) I have done this on Windows NT 4.0, WFW 3.11, and Win2k, but have never tried it on Win95. In WinNT, you have to go to Network Setup, and add a Service, called "Microsoft TCP/IP Printing" If that is available on your machine, this may be an even easier way to get your Windows machine connected, since you do not have to install SAMBA. Then, simply add a local printer, add port, LPR Port, enter Linux's IP and the printer's queue name - that's it! In general, make sure that the printer setup on Windows uses a print-driver, which can be interpreted by your lpr filter on Linux. I wrote my own filter, and use Postscript drivers on Windows workstations - yours may be able to interpret more formats. Let me know if you need more help & good luck!
