|Ok.. Here's the deal..  I'm about to re-add a Linux box to my WinLAN.

printserver..

|.Two questions:

|1)   When using QT Rip 2  I assume I'll need to actually print from
|Linux...  or is there a way I can print  from  PShop on my Winboxes and

Samba and CUPS are integrated together nicely, and modern versions of 
both should be included in any current Linux distro.  I think here on 
the group we're encouraging people to use RedHat, Debian, or SUSE.  
Anything other than Mandrake.  CUPS and Samba dovetail nicely, so you 
would be able to browse your windows network and find the QTR printer 
from windows.

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/

Is a good place to start.  I have a better troubleshooting guide at 
home, I'll post it after I get out of the office today.

|2)   When I print from my Winboxes to a printer via Samba, am I correct

Actually, you would be using a CUPS postscript driver, which your 
Windows machine can retrieve from the printer machine via Samba.  You'll 
get a stripped down gui with just enough drop down boxes to blend curves.

http://www.cups.org
http://www.linuxprinting.org

are good resources for printer info.
