I've installed Linux (Caldera 2.0) as a server and connected three win95
boxes to it.

I set up the users and can log into the Linux box ok but whenit comes to
the printer !!!.

I've tried setting up the printer on the win95 and

1) I donot see any printers in the network neibourhood

2) the bios on the linux box tells me that the printer ports are at HEX
378 and 278 but the verbous hard analysis tells me that the ports are
3bc and 278

Can any one help with a systematic approach to sort this one out, as
more and more I get into this more confusing

all help welcome thanks

If you need to print from a linux machine to a win95 attached printer, you
need
to install an lpd (print manager spooler) on the win95 pc, or samba on the
linux pc.
To print from windows machines to a linux pc, you need to install an lpr
client
on each windows machine, or again, samba on the linux machine.
