OK, I know this seems back-to-front, but......

I have (been lumbered with) a site where a printer-server is run on a 
Windows-for-Workgroups 3.11 box. On the same network is my BSD box, which 
I'd like to be able to print from.

Is there any (practical/easy) way to set one of the WFWG printer 
resources as an available printer? What if any additional software will I 
need to do it?

Is there a FAQ on this somewhere? (where?).

I'd appreciate a reply copied to me directly as well as the list 
at rossw@albury.net.au please.
