With Windows 2000 and higher, and assuming your printers support it, you can use the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) instead of LPR. This lets you use an HTTP URL to identify the printer. Most modern network printers support IPP. For a description of how I got IPP to an HP LaserJet working, see: http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=s5gptgh4811.fsf%40patl%3Dusers.sf.net > Another point : Is there already a "sambapdc" script collecting all > the little hacks needed to connect 2K/XP workstations to samba > domains (signorseal key, user shell folders, delroamcache..., > excludeprofiledirs...) ?
