Okay, okay! (Man, between you and the local NPR station... ;-) This isn't
the most coherent thing I've ever written, but a reasonably intelligent
person should get enough clues from it to make something work eventually:

	http://www.laine.org/NetBSD/smbprint/

gives instructions on one way of setting up a NetBSD machine to send
PostScript (or straight text) files to a printer connected to an
SMB-capable machine (eg MS Windows). If the printer isn't itself PostScript
capable, GhostScript is used as part of the filter to translate into
something different (PCL in my case).
