Then, define the printer on the NT machine to be shared. It will now be known by its share name through the lpd protocol, so for FreeBSD it'll be just like a remote printer connected to a UNIX host (look at the Handbook for instructions on that). Note: With NT 4.0 (but not 3.51) you need to print to the printer with the "-l" flag to lpr if you want NT to leave the data untouched. Otherwise, NT assumes it's a text file, so if you send a PostScript file you'll end up with the PostScript source... 3.51 and earlier didn't have this problem. Nadav
