Printing from QNX to a Printer on Win-98

Any idea on printing a file from QNX to a printer attached to a Win-98
computer. I can “see” the Win-98 computer from the QNX computer, but I am at
a loss as to how to connect to the printer. I have sucessfully mounted a
shared drive from Win-98 (although I have not been abe to do the reverse,
but that is another issue).

Thanks for any help.

Check out the Samba Docs on using lpr to spool print jobs over to a Windows printer

Or you could use smbclient to send your file to print:

smbclient \\computername\printername printerpasswd -I myipaddr -P

then type print [myfile] at the smbclient prompt
