i assume the machine PrintServer ( 192.168.1.2 ) has the printer connected
to it and its running samba for windoze users and its input/output filters
configured to be able to print various files fmts
lpr *.jpg
lpr *.txt
lpr *.ps
lpr *.anything
all should be printable
( i like magicfilter -- and hand-edited printcap files )
- am assuming you have setup samba properly and have defined windoze users
with smbpasswd user1
- someone posted a smb.conf a couple days ago

more simply
pc1# lpr file.* ( any file format )
linux_pc1 would have its /etc/printcap
#
# print to the remote printer on PrintServer
#
lp|HPrinter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:rm=192.168.1.2:
#
# end of printcap
linux_pc2# same printcap as linux_pc1
windoze# just install a network printer using windoze "printer manager"
and if you're sending fax documents to lots of places around
the world....
each office in paris, rome, NY, london, tokyo can
have a printer connector to it
any_linux_pc# lpr -Ptokyo file_to_print
any_linux_pc# lpr -Pnewyork file_to_print
any_linux_pc# lpr -Prome file_to_print
- and define ip# so that only certain pc's(gw) can
print to its local printer from some remote office
--- no special hardware needed
