Print sharing via Windows 2000?

[snguyen at hotmail.com (Son Nguyen)]

Scott,


It is an option.  We have about 400+ printers connected to 4 windows 
servers.  We use....

lpadmin -p <PRINTERNAME> -E -v lpd://<SERVER>/<PRINTERNAME>

...automate to install all printers on all our linuxes (Redhat, Fedora, and 
Centos).  We have had this setup for over three years now.
