Not specific to FreeBSD, but maybe this help you: Printing To Windows PCs http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing/printing_to_windows.html Also read chapter 5.1 of this material. Obtained by a google search. :-) I can't give better advice as I'm not a "Windows" person, and I avoid using CUPS whenever possible (usually by using a network printer that doesn't need all this stuff), and due to lack of experience with MICROS~1 stuff I can't be fully sure that this is what you're searching for. The only thing that comes to my mind is that this seems to be a command line approach - so in relation of CUPS configuration mainly done through a web interface today, maybe you could also ask this question in a CUPS web forum? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
