I'm about to be leaving when my current contract is, though I would like to be able to do one last thing though.
Ok here's the deal. Everything here is Windows

apart from a huge Xerox printer they have which running of Unix

The other IT blokes here (Windows people) have told the blokes in the print room that they can't connect the Xerox printer to the Windows servers.
I just found this out. I said it was not the case.
What they would like the printer to do is be setup so they can scan documents from the printer to a e-mail address (in PDF).
I said Samba could do the job they want. I've never really installed Samba or played to much with it (It's always already been done when I get there
![Frown Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
). But would I be correct in saying that if we setup Samba on the print server (Windows) then the printer would be able to connect and scan documents etc?
I'm not sure if I would need to do anything on the printer. though I think if I setup Samba on Windows then I should have to do and confiure setups on the printer. Only configure it so it can do the job.
So anything with what I said correct? Don't ask what model Xerox printer it is all I know is it's like 12feet long and cost a hell of alot of $$$ Oh yeah and even Xerox people who have come out sofar can't help them. I'm the first person who told them it can be done. I'm just wondering if what I think is the right way of going about doing it
thanks in advance for your help.
