Hi!
I have a tiny TCP/IP ether-network over here, consisting of my Linux box
and my wife's Windows 95 (no comments, please ;)). The printer is attached
to the Win95 box.
The Win95 box has a telnet/ftp and a VNC server running.
What I currently do when I want to print is:
- uploading the file via ftp to the Win95 box
- starting a VNC-client and tell the printer to print it
- rebooting Win95 from VNC, because it locks the keyboard of the
Win-machine :-\
This seems quite awkward to me. Isn't there something like Samba for
Windows (i.e. a print-server I can just send the files I want printed)?
Oh, yeah, for free, of course ;-). Or maybe I can do that via telnet?
Thanks
tom
