Printing from unix to windows.

Hi,

This issue is killing me. I'm looking to get advise on setting up a remote printer in unix "HP-UX" which will print to a printer which sits remotely connected to a windows 2000 server.

I guess I'm looking for an idiots guide - any assistance you may offer will be gratefully received.

Cheers.

ghostscript, cups and samba are the things you want to look at.

samba should sort out the comms between UNIX and Windows.

You may be lucky and able/allowed to configure a line printer daemon on the windows box.
