Printing from Mac thru NT to Win95 printer

Okay, let's start from scratch. You have a PostScript-
compatible printer attached to a Windows 95 system.
You also have an NT Server running Services for Macintosh.
You have some Macintosh clients that you want to print to
the NT Server, which will then send the print job to the
a Windows 95, which will print the job on its local PostScript
printer.

Now, I am assuming that you have Services for Macintosh
installed on the NT Server (you didn't mention this in
your posting.) Here are the steps:

1. Install the local printer on the Win95 machine, and
   share it to the network. Let's assume the Win95 machine
   is called WINNY and the printer is shared as HPLJ4M.
2. From the NT Server, choose "create printer..." from the
   Print Manager's "Print" menu.
3. Give the Printer a Name, such as "Test Printer". Choose
   the correct driver from the driver list. This is very
   important. For example, if the printer is an HP LaserJet
   4MV, which supports PostScript, and you choose the driver
   HP LaserJet 4, you will have a problem because Windows
   NT will evaluate the PostScript code and generate a bit-
   mapped image before sending it to the Windows 95 machine.
4. From the Print To field, choose "other...", then choose
   "Local Port" and type \\WINNY\HPLJ4M" (or whatever the
   UNC name for your Windows 95 machine/printer is.
5. Check the box "Share this printer on the network", and
   Give it a name as you want it to appear on the NT Server.
   This is the name that the Macintosh clients will see!

That's it! Here are a couple of notes:

1. You need to make sure Services for Macintosh is installed
   and the "Print Server for Macintosh" is started.
2. You must make sure to enter the correct printer driver,
   so that NT knows whether or not it should rasterize the
   PostScript job, or just send it as is.
3. You cannot use the above procedures for printing from an
   NT Server to an NT Server. In order to do that, you need
   to enable a function called NULL shares on the destination
   NT Server. See the section called "6.7.4 Forwarding Jobs"
   in the NT Resource Kit v.1 for more information on this.
4. You DON'T need AppleTalk enabled on the printer itself
   (which is only an option if the printer has a JetDirect
   card, or similar network interface).
