Point and print from UNIX to Windows Server 2003
Point-and-Print behavior from UNIX clients to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Storage Server
2003 is similar to the behavior for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition
clients, because all these clients create SMB connections. However, the non–Windows operating
systems maintain their own driver model, so these clients do not automatically get the driver during
Point and Print; they must install the driver locally. Like the Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows
Millennium clients, these non–Windows clients do not receive driver updates from the print server
after a driver is initially downloaded. The same connection methods are available: drag and drop,
the Add Printer Wizard, referencing a UNC path, or double-clicking the shared printer icon.
