Hi
Thanks Arjen for the pointers; do I understand correctly that it is
possible to install a pointer in Samba without actually installing it as a
printer under Linux? How is this done? As far as I can see (using Swat),
the printcap files is read for printer entries even when setting up a
printer share under Samba. The photocopier, I have discovered, is also
PCL-5e, PCL-XL and PDL driver compatible.
Thanks for your help.
Grant Walton.
PS : My Linux box runs 6.3

This is no problem, you don't even need drivers for it. Say you shared it with samba the win clients can use theirs to do all the nice stuff like duplex, DIN A3 etc.
It does not need to be postscript compatible if the clienst have the correct drivers.
You can make it behave like a postscript printer if you use ghostscript but you may loose some special futures.
The only thing is that it is needed to switch off extra form feed at the end of a job. Forgot how that was done but must be in the list archives.
