Amazon.co.uk Review
Paperless office, paperless schmoffice: If you can't get your document to look right on paper, you might as well not waste time creating it at all. For administrators, printing across a local area network (LAN) was hard enough when everyone was running the same operating system. Now, with at least three widespread versions of Windows, several Mac OS flavours, and Linux servers making inroads all the time, printing can be hairier than ever. Network Printing aims to clarify the mechanisms by which various operating systems--particularly Unix variants--speak to one another about printing matters. It also seeks to explain the procedures that administrators need to follow to get Macs and Windows machines printing on Unix and Linux boxes via Samba. Though it would be nice to see a section on getting Macs to print to Windows printers and vice-versa, this book meets its goal. In the section on Unix printing, the book explains all the popular print daemons, including lp, lpr, lpd, and LPRng, relying heavily (and helpfully) on command-line listings. The Samba section on how to install Samba 2.0.6 under Unix and Linux and exercise its important commands is more procedural. Later you learn how to hook up Macs, Windows machines, and NetWare servers to Samba-enabled print servers. Topics covered: Printing over a network, with emphasis on Unix, Linux, Samba, and the means by which they connect to computers running Windows, Mac OS, and NetWare. Popular Unix print utilities are documented, plus how to install Samba and open its services to a heterogeneous network. --David Wall

 Generally Useful but some bits a bit vague November 13, 2001
This is a book of variable value, the History lesson at the front was interesting. The chapters on spooling and Unix printing were excellent though in one or two places they seemed to skip ahead of themselves. The chapter on Samba was very good. Personally I skipped the Novell and Mac chapters, I have no experience of such systems
and can't personally comment on their relevance.
The chapters on LDAP and on SNMP can be useful if you read them a couple of times since the information in them isn't printed in a sequential manner.
Its short and readable. I read it from cover to cover in about 3 hours spread over a single week.
Some of the chapters such as accounting assume you can program in Perl (which I can't) C or Korn Script yes but not every system has Perl.
Even so there is a fair bit of good information in it and it is probably worth the price especially if you can get the company to pay for it.
It really needs some practical experience under your belt to get the most out of it.
 Excellent January 4, 2001
I work in technical support for a large printer manufacturer and spend some of my time training others on printing issues, this book is the first one that I recommend my delegates to buy
Very useful book December 29, 2000
As busy sys admin and support analyst for large printer reseller this book is a bible. Explains from the ground up how to set up and manage printers and printer pools on all networks and operating systems. Most useful !!!!!!!!!
