From any FBSD or Winblows machine on my home network (7 pcs, mixed os's), I can print to both printers. I used apsfilter to do the setup of the printers on the fbsd boxes, and samba to share the hp. And of course the winblows printer is shared and accessable to the fbsd boxes. -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
