Re: Request for help @ Installfest

Thank you for the link Eric. I will try and get as much info as I can from
the link you provided. I am unfortunatly Windows spoiled and not overly
computer literate, especially when it comes to the command line. I have been
additionally looking into taking CIS126DL "Linux Operating Systems" from one
of the local colleges so that I may better understand Linux as a whole. If
anyone has first hand knowledge about this class and has an opinion on its
benifits to me I would appreciate the input before I spend a semester of
time in it. Thanks for the help, I look forward to attending a meeting and
InstallFest.

We'd love to see you at the installfest and meetings, Steve.

In the meantime, there's a very good (definitive, I might say) book
about Samba at http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/
Chapters 19 (Classical Printing Support) and 20 (CUPS Printing Support)
are as comprehensive as any I've seen regarding Linux printing, with or
without Samba.

Hope to see you soon!
