I haven't looked into that yet, but I didn't really want to get
tangled up in Samba unless I have to.
I had visions of doing this thru ssh or somehow with the cygwin tools
on board the w2k machine. Not sure if the cygwin tools are capable of
routing a remote print command to that printer.
I do have a ssh daemon running on the w2k so should be able to issue
any commands necessary.
