Ok, i've successfully used samba to use a linux printer from a Win95 
machine... Now can i go the other way?  I got an inkjet (lexmark 
150c if that matters) which i want to use from both machines.  Since the 
linux machine only has one parallel port and i want to keep both printers 
active, i would like to share the 150c from my win95 box.

I've enabled sharing on the win95 box... but *can* linux somehow see it?  

Ok... that should be it.. thanks in advance.
