The "serious" branch of Windows (NT) can send lpr print jobs. Attach the printers to your FreeBSD machine. Define the queues in /etc/printcap. Install the various drivers on the Windows machines, and set them to print to an lpr "port" which is really the FreeBSD print queue. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
