You may possibly want to put some printing filters on their but usually
for windows printing this is not needed (and causes more problems
sometimes). Other than that, samba+lprng are about all you need.
If you want to go the other way (Unix lpr/lpd to SMB printer) be careful
of one thing. The method given in the LPRng howto used to work with
old smbprints and sometimes works with the new smbprint.
The nice samba people have given us the -c flag which is a very welcome
addition. Change the last few lines to:
cat | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" \
"$password" -U "$server" -c "print -" -N -P 1>&2
It gets rid of that awful echo rubbish you had to have. That's good
when wierd things happen as the script sometimes used to hang.
