Samba will work correctly. The only hitch is that if you are going to a HP type printer you may need to use a unix2dos on the file before you use smbclient (at least on an older version). unless your sending full PCL coding. Although I think there might be a switch in samba which will do it for you. see (http://www.samba.org) I use RPM by (http://www.brooksnet.com) it isn't a free product. But it does work real nice, it is a lpd daemon. RPM will allow one PC to have upto 20 queues, each queue can be any printer that PC is capable of printing to, and to unix/linux it's just a remote printer. Since it going to an NT, I thought you could install from the NT CD the remote printer service, then you could just setup the linux machine queue as a remote printer on the NT (have never tried this, since we had rpm working).
