Printing from the Window PC
Get a Samba account from the administrator, you must
logoff after using the Window PC.
It is now possible to print directly from the Window PC
to the printer. No more print to file, ftp, etc.
It may also be possible to access your home directory from
the Window PC (just drag and drop to copy/move files).
Those interested in this feature should
send an e-mail to the System Administrator.
