I would rather use DAVE.
Authored by: jyu on Jun 27, '02 04:37:22PM

I haven't tried it myself. But the way it prints seems to have many limitations:

1. Has to print from Terminal;
2. Has to create PS file first;
3. After restart, has to log in again.

DAVE not only give you easy file sharing between PC and Mac, but also does printing, and I believe the file doesn't has to be PS.

Well sure, but DAVE's not free now, is it? It's also not open source.

Well, for an open-source solution the works for Postscript AND non-Postscript printers to print to Window-machines (as well as other printer servers and dedicated print server boxes), check out http://homepage.mac.com/balthisar/printing

...and I should add that it works directly from Mac OS X Applications; you do NOT have to be in the Terminal.
