[wellylug] [Fwd: PDF Service with Samba LG #72]

[Bill Christiansen]

The distro I'm using has smb4k which can see my shared printer on the
Families XP box (haven't totally converted them yet) and has an option
to send a ps or pdf file to it but when I tried it everything seemed
to work at the linux end but nothing happened at the XP end. As a
network printing solution I ended up going the easy way by aquiring
one of those little rj45 to centronics print servers
http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/42ab6b4d066fbc6e273fc0a87f99074a/Product/View/XH7915
so now the printer has it's own IP and any printer on the network can
print to it.
