Hi,

How do you print from unix to windows 98 desktop LPT1 via
Windows 2000 print server with Print Services for Unix
installed.

ok you have Print Services for Unix installed on 2000
server. but when you install windows 98 smb shared printer
on 2000 the printer name has spaces in it...

so whats the queue name to unix work out to be? 2000 wont
let you rename windows 98 shared printer

I run the following command to list printers:
reg query
hklm\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
\\printserver "Name"

but the printer on the 98 pc has a weird name with commers
in it??

using in as the queue name in unix doesnt work, entering
the name with\ spaces\ doesnt work ... nothing works!
