[ILUG] Printing from Linux to Windows printer

Hi,

I have samba running on a Linux box so that I can access my
Windows machine's shared resources. I order to do this I had
to set my Windows machine to run NetBEUI over TCP/IP.
Unfortunately our print server runs NetBEUI directly on the
Ethernet. Therefore I can access our print server from my windows
machine but not from my Linux machine.

Is there a way to get around this? I figure one way would be to
setup a shared dummy printer on my windows machine which would
simply re-route all incoming jobs to the print server printer. Does
anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks,
John Mc Donald.
