I've no experience, but I suspect that if you use smbclient to connect to the shared printer in the same way as with a 95 mchine, this should work. E.g. \\myw4w\printer - except that, I think smbclient wants "//myw4w/printer" rather than the "\"s. Or perhaps use a "\" to 'escape' the '\' - thus "\\\\myw4w\\printer" on the command line. So, something like "% smbclient //myw4w/printer" or "% smbclient \\\\myw4w\\printer" - check the man page for smbclient to check for further details. I did this a while back for a Sun box to win-nt shared printer, I just forget off hand which magical incantation it was ;') My fBSD box prints directly to the IP address of the laser printer :') > > Thanks. > > Michael G. > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > ICQ #24517082 Live FreeBSD...Or Die! > > PIC X 10 VALUE "YES!
