Vitaliy, Oleg is not totally correct. You have 2 choices, and both involve samba. You can do a he has suggested and connect the printer to the FreeBSD machine and setup samba to provide printer services to windows machine. OR You can install samba and use the "smbprint" script that comes with it, and use that to print from the FreeBSD machine to the printer connected to the Windows machine. I believe that this is an easier solution if all you want is occasional printing from the BSD machine. There is ample documentation that comes with samba that explains how to setup the /etc/printcap to use the "smbprint" script that comes with samba. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Oleg Ogurok [SMTP:oleg@ogurok.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 1999 10:57 AM > To: Alexandra Ogorodova > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: windows printer > > Hi, Alexandra. > > There's no way to do that.
