How do you send a file from Windows to a Unix printer I can send the file to the Unix itself but I need to be able to send a file from Windows straight to a Unix printer Does anyone know how?
There are several ways. One is to have Samba configured on the Unix system so that the Windows system has access to it. Another way is to install the lpr service for windows (most Windows servers now have that service as an installable service). 'lpr' is the Unix printing spooler which would allow you to use the lpr command in windows to print to a Unix printer.
