You probably have to have Samba running. I have a Windows 2000 Server
and I use "lpdsvcs". In my printcap, I set ":rm=server_name:\" with
":rp=share_name:\". The server_name is the name I have in the hosts
table. The share_name is the name I shared the printer as from the W2K
properties.

They used to have a "unix services" setup that you could download. I
just don't have any idea if it will run on Win9x.
