Hi,

I've never figured out how to hook into a printer on another system
[FROM NeXTStep/Rhapsody] which is annoying. It's easy if you're in
the same location as netinfo handles everything for you... but I
haven't been able to get one NeXT machine speaking remotely to
another NeXT machine's laser printer without netinfo at long
distances.

I had better luck getting Windows networking and printing to work
with my NeXT machine tho'. I expose my printer to my login account
and can print from any Windows machine on the Internet to my NeXT
machine once I login. Using Samba, you can have both Windows
Networking and can configure your NeXT machine to look like a
Postscript Laserprinter which is just _dandy_ for printing quick
output from Win95 when you're away from home.
