Anyone know how to config SOffice to use smbprint?
Thanks for any help.

You need to edit the Office51/xp3/Xpdefaults file, AFTER saving the
original to something like Xpdefaults.ORG, of course.

Study and edit the "device=" line (and others) to generate the
appropriate printer language for the remote printer.

Edit the "default_queue=lp" line, replacing "lp" with the full pathname
command syntax for smbprint that you would use.
