Sounds ok, I only never thought or heard about it.

So I tried to print from my Win2k to my FreeBSD machine by

C:> lpr -S small -P lp hello.txt

but received an error saying, that my print server did not accept
the request (please do excuse my translation: my Win2k speaks
German).

Do I have to allow print requests somewhere?
