I don't know about THIS newsgroup ... we're going to strongly favour
Linux gateways over MS ICS. But I do know ICS should work. I think I
heard something about it being hardcoded to 192.168.0.0/24 networks. The
ICS server runs a DHCP server, too. On the client side, just use DHCP
and it should all work.

But again, I never used it and hope I never have to. :)

I saw that. I've never printed from a Linux client to a Windows shared
printer, but I recall something about a "smbprint" script. Look for that
for clues. Also Google in linux.samba and comp.protocols.smb, where this
comes up regularly.
