SUMMARY
Any printer configured for use with Windows NT Server will be available for
both Microsoft clients and NetWare clients (through File and Print Services
for NetWare [FPNW]) when the printer is shared.
Configuring a printer as a normal Windows NT printer and sharing it is
much simpler than using the Jetadmin utility to configure it.
