Re: Printer

[Richard Fifarek <rfifarek@silug.org>]

	How _I_ would do it is to have the printer connected to the Linux 
box, and share the printer (via LPD or Samba) to the Windows machine.  
I've found this to be quite a bit more reliable than the reverse.

	To do it your way, have the Windows box share the printer on to 
the network, and then (as root) run printtool, create a new printer, and 
select Windows printer in the wizard.
