Making progress on the print server. Am able to print b&w text directly using "lpr /etc/motd" - gives me the motd yadda yadda stuff. Still having problems printing from Samba clients, just getting lots of codes printed out.

It's an HP Deskjet 722C. In magicfilter I selected pnm2ppa-720-color-filter for my color queue and pnm2ppa-720-bw-filter for black and white printing. Anyone have experience with magicfilter and LPRng?

Second question - if I want to print out from another Linux desktop, how would I set that up? Is there a simple utility for remote LPD in SuSE? But at least I know that I CAN print from the goofy little PC, so I'm at a good starting point.
