[ale] KDE/Gnome show of hands?

[Dow Hurst]

Just use CUPs to share printers.  Works great between any Unix/Linux/BSD 
and so on OSes.  If you incorporate Samba to share printers and 
configure the queues to be CUPs based then Window OSes will be part of 
the loop.  For commercial support see www.easysw.com as they wrote CUPs 
and sell a commercial package with all the backend drivers and PPDs you 
could ever want.
