I used Samba to share a DeskJet 660Cse between a Win95 Laptop and my FreeBSD system. The printer was attached to the FreeBSD box. This worked well and you got the added freature or sharing disks. If you're interested in the filters for lpr let me know. I'm currently using the Axis Pocket Printserver (www.axis.com). It is the 530D. It supports TCP/IP, LPD, NOVEL, LANMAN and MAC. Not much different than running Samba other than I don't have to have all my systems running to use the printer. It came with scripts to configure it for Unix and windows. > Comments? > > Warner > -- Thomas Traylor Thomas.Traylor@mci.com ttraylor@titan.cs.mci.com (719) 535-1269
