hi,
SAMBA 2.2 has been released lately and this is now the ultimate tool to give
printing support from a UNIX box to any windows related client. There is full RPC
support, the SAMBA server acts exactly like a NT server towards the clients and is
much easier to administrate than the original NT stuff. It's great, we will
introduce it for our ~400 queues in the nextfew weeks...
take care
~Christoph
