[SunRescue] Another stupid Solaris printing question...

[John Duksta]

Mike,

There are a couple of LPR clients out there for windows, but
they mostly suck.

I would go with Samba, as that will also allow you to set
up shares for the Win9X boxes to see. Also a neat feature
of samba is that it will automatically share out users'
home directories if you want it too.
