[ale] Cups and SMB

[James P. Kinney III]

No. That spec is for the printer that is connected to the cat5 line
directly. That is a real "network printer". If the printer is connected
to a pc which in turn is connected to the cat5 line, it is a shared
printer if it is a Windows OS on the pc. 

In that case (windoze box with parallel/USB cable to printer), the
smbclient sotware is required to mangle, er, handle the protocols
properly.
