-Hello
- Are you trying to print from a Windows machine to FreeBSD?
- If so checkout samba from www.samba.org

- If you are trying to map out your printer from freebsd checkout apsfilter in
/usr/ports

- And also checkout www.freebsddiary.org for a tutorial on how to accomplish
the bel;ow.

Looking forward to your feedback.
