1. Make sure linux has samba installed.
2. Make sure the printer is shared and has a share name in 'Doze.
3. Make sure both have an ethernet card with addesses assigned (obvious to
some, not so to others) or a null modem cable or some other connection.
4. Add a printer with printtool using the smb/win95 option. Give the proper
hostname, sharename, etc. Choose the proper type of printer.
5. Print.
That's what worked for me. If you need more detailed help, write direct
with specific questions or how you're trying to do it, and I'll see what I
can do to help.
