I have samba up and running and it looks to be cool (especially with SWAT to make the
configuration that little bit easier).

I can handle sharing directories and files no problem, but what about printers ? From what
I have seen there doesn't seem to be much in the way of non-Postscript printer support
under Linux. Is it just a matter of sharing the port and letting the 95/NT machine handle the
driver bit, or is it necessary to have the correct driver installed on the Linux machine too ?

Thanks,

David
