Install (in your NT's Network Control Panel Applet) TCP/IP printing support. This will make your NT server lpd compatible. Then all you have to do is set up your FreeBSD's printcap file to point at a remote printer (exactly as described in the Handbook). The name of the printer is the same as the sharename given to it in NT. You'll have to use the -l flag to lpr to print PostScript files, etc., as the NT server treats everything as text files otherwise. > George wrote: > > > > > > > whats the easiest way to be able to print to my WIN NT printer that > > is on my network? what files do i need to set up and what to put in > > them? > > > > maybe someone can point me in the right direction. > > > > Nadav
