Well, I can answer this for FreeBSD, as this is FreeBSD support, not BSDi support. Your best bet would be to install samba on the FreeBSD machine and use Windows Networking on the Windows boxes to print to it. The lpr mechanism is not well developed on Windows platforms. > Also, does BSDI ver. 2.1 support Intel's EtherExpress 100B PCI LAN card? FreeBSD will in 2.2; I'm not sure about 2.1.6.
