I also have a mixed net, and have never been able to get W2k to work
well, or sometimes at all, as a print server. Tried to get some M$ W2k
gurus to help, but they couldn't make it work either.
I installed network print servers on a couple of printers, and this
has been the best solution yet. The Mand* box also works well as a
server for one printer. Give up on W2k for printing....
Rikona,
Go to Control Panel in Win2K then go to add/remove windows components
(not sure this is the real name for it, but it's close), then go through
the details and you will find an extra check box for 'Unix Printing' and
install that.
Not sure if it will need any configuration, but it should be automatic.
Check Services in Computer Management to make sure that (IF) it's a
service, that it is started automatically when you restart the Win2K box.
