I eventually got the NT system administrator to load up TCP/IP-based remote printing, for UNIX hosts: (i.e. in your Linux printcap file, lp:lp=:rp=NT_host:rm=NT.somewhere.org) They were reluctant because (unlike Linux/UNIX), they have no way of ensuring that only selected hosts &/or users can access the printer. But it works just fine. Dean .. If you have Samba running, you can setup a printer interface file to handle this. I think there's an example in the Samba docs. If not, I could send you a sample from one of our SCO boxes. Works fine and since it's spooled via lp, you can control who uses it. Mike
