Hi,

SMBCLIENT allows a FreeBSD user to print a file to a shared printer on a
windows machine:

# smbclient \\\\fredspc\\epson
\> print /dir/dir/filename

etc.

This gives very simple printing of files, but is a bit limited.

Has anyone discovered if it is possible to attach a shared printer as a
FreeDSD resource so that you can print to it from within applications?
That is, have the shared (windows) printer appear alongside lp, for
example?

If anyone has had any success with this I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
Ric
