What I did, was setup my W95 printer as a remote printer
for the unix system. I used a lpd daemon program running on
the PC. Then just printed to the remote printer from unix.

This of course assumes that you get your printer setup as
a remote printer. I have the luxury(?) of being the unix
admin so getting approval was not an issue.

One of the nice features built in to Pine for UNIX is its ability to
support passthrough (or transparent) printing through the terminal
session. Many emulation products support this nicely, such as for the vt
and wyse terminal types (I tend to think our Anzio products do it the
best). The nice thing with this is that the printing then becomes a
"follow-me" type printing (if I want to print through Pine from the
office, it prints to my local printer, if I want to print at home, it
works there also).

Within Pine UNIX its automatic, just go to Setup:Printer and select 
   attached-to-ansi

I've found EWAN is very good at supporting the "attached-to-ansi"
feature.

The latest version should be available 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week from:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~zander/ewan.html		If you like WWW
ftp.lysator.liu.se  /pub/msdos/windows			If you prefer FTP

Interesting.  Does W95 come with a lpd daemon?

If the original problem was a need for a Unix computer to use a
printer attached to a W95 PC, I would suggest Samba (I think,
ftp://samba.anu.edu.au).  But that does need to be set up by the
administrator of the Unix system.

Both of these approaches would allow other users of the Unix system
to print on the printer - in general, a good thing: why waste a
resource?

Hell no!

Save the Samba maintainers internet fees and go to 

	http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba

and pick your closest mirror.

You don't need root access to get Samba, compile it, and use
the bundled "smbclient" to print to a Windows 95 printer. 
There is plenty of documentation--I'd explain it, but with
my job right now you would *definitely* have to send me 
pizza if I did.

Ah!  NOW I understand...
