Hi there,

sorry for this OT question, my excuse is that it is somewhat related
to my freebsd box. :)

i have this problem: my computer is the only non-windows pc in the
office. There's one NT4 server with a shared HP 5L which the other
win2k boxen use for printing. i've read (parts of)
/usr/share/doc/en/books/corp-net-guide, and it looks like i *should*
be able to use that printer provided the NT box had something called
"Microsoft TCP/IP Printing" installed, which it doesn't.

what i need to know is: if i add the "tcp/ip printing" service, will
it affect the other (win2k) computers? will it be necessary to change
anything, or will that change go unnoticed?

or, do i have any other options if i want to print on that printer?
