Samba's printing support implements the Microsoft Remote Procedure
Calls (MS-RPC) methods for printing. These are used by Windows NT (and
later) print servers. The old &quot;LanMan&quot; protocol is still supported as
a fallback resort, and for older clients to use. More details will
follow further beneath.
