[K12OSN] K12LSTP in a Windows Environment

[Mark Cockrell]

Hello all,
    I've got a well-established Windows NT domain running here, and I'm 
trying to add some Linux terminals to the mix.  I know very little about 
Linux in general and even less about Terminal Services specifically.  
There are a couple of things I want to do, but I don't know how, or if 
they're even possible.  Is there some way to synchronize the Linux 
server with my NT Primary Domain Controller so that my users can log on 
to the terminals with their existing NT user names and passwords?  Also, 
is there some way to access the existing network printers?  We've got 
several workgroup printers (HP Color LaserJet 4500 and Oki C5100N) setup 
throughout the campuses that are shared via Windows NT servers.  Can the 
Linux server get access to them so that users can simply select with 
printer they want to print to?  Does Samba do that?  I've read that I 
can share a printer connected to a Linux machine with Windows machines, 
but does it work the other way around?  I've done a cursory search on 
the Web and haven't found Linux drivers for these printers, so I don't 
quite know what to do. If someone could set me straight here, I would 
appreciated it.
