I do this all the time at school. I've got a 486 with a LaserJet
connected. Basically all I've done is uncomment the [printers] section in
/etc/smb.conf and the printer is visible in the 'Network Neighborhood.'
Load the appropriate driver in the Win9x machine, and you should be in
business. It works very well.
