One can network 20 computers with w2000 for less than the cost it takes Hewlett Packard to come over for three days to make your $80 Linux lan print properly. It says here. Steve. </smallprint>
Well, it only took me five minutes to get my lan printing properly with Linux... which is a lot cheaper than buying the 20 copies of W2K, even at my consulting rates... but then, I'm one of those elitists. :-)
Well, c'mon then. Tell us how it's done! I too am elite. I use 8.1. But the hard way, r'ing tfm nfs, nis, autofs. . .I'm totally computer illiterate.
I bought a cheap $40 print server from Hawking Technologies and attached it to my Canon BJC-6000. Gave the print server an IP and then used Yast2 to configure the printer (remote lpd print queue pointing to the printer server IP. Done.
