My view is that it relates to using a Linux printer server on a network containing Windows Workstations. Lots of us have those. To use LFS to build a printer server/service is a legitimate, one might say ideal, use of LFS. Despite the hint needing to be mostly about Windows configuration, it's extremely relevant. I've also become very out of date with Windows since Windows95 (last one I used in anger, nay, Rage!), although I have installed Windows 2000 for my wife, I insist she does all the configuring, saying 'that's Windows, it's written for people who don't understand computers - so it's not my problem'. I suspect there are a few of us like that too. To give her a hint and say: 'here's how to use my printer' would be nice.
