Re: [q] Use Apple LWIIg as network printer for PC lab?

[Stephen Alexander]

the linux/netbsd w/samba and cups will definitely work with any level of windows 
supporting server message block protocol, which I think is anything past Windows 3.1.

A half dozen good replies on this and MacNetwork list. The articles I 
was referred to talked about Win2k OS. We use the now "old" win98 OS on 
our labs. Can this still possibly still work with Win98?

Thanks.  Jim

Can it be done?
Of course it has to be done with little or no new money.

Re: [q] Use Apple LWIIg as network printer for PC lab?

[Stephen Alexander]

I am not sure what you can do with MacOS, it has been too long. Here's an idea 
though: one option would definitely be NetBSD running samba and cups. There 
may be a linux variety that runs on mac 68k too but I can't recall.
