Vikas If you have Cups installed it is a breeze to get printing to a windows printer setup. It takes less then 2 minutes to configure it in cups and just works. The only part I had trouble with was the address format of the win printer, which I found by googleing and reading the cups docs. >From my Cups Printer setup: Device: Windows printer via Samba Device URL: smb://winme/Epson (the Windows Box/The printer ) Hope this helps Wayne -- Scheduled Release Date: A carefully calculated date determined by estimating the actual shipping date and subtracting six months from it. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
