The overwhelming favorite was Samba <http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba>,
which is free and almost everyone suggested would work very well. They
were right, it's both free and it works great. Several people were
nice enough to send along sample configuration scripts, which were
useful and much appreciated.
Other suggestions (untried by myself) were:
>Install NIprint.
>I have this on a few 95 boxes and it talks direct to the BSD spooler
>(in my case LPRng).
