RE: Printing from FreeBSD to Windows XP
Hello, I have a small home network with 2 computers, one running FreeBSD and the other with Windows XP Professional. I have a printer hooked up to the Windows XP machine and I would like to be able to print to it from my FreeBSD box. I have already install Printer Services for Unix in Windows. I am just a little confused on how to setup the FreeBSD part. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you share out the printer on the XP box like you would for any other win box, you can just install/configure apsfilter (in the ports) to print to it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's more for printing to Unix, and other tcp/ip networked, print servers. I am just a little confused on how to setup the FreeBSD part. Try CUPS, which can work with smbclient to print to windows shared printers. If you like, just use smbclient alone. If you installed samba (which is a good idea in a mixed network like this), you should already have it all.
