	You could also have installed a Samba server on Linux and found a Mac
Samba client.

	Probably. Depends on how the software works.

	TCP/IP. Apart from what's there I have no idea. This is an Apple//
group not a Mac group. You want a Mac group for more Mac information.

	The Printers control panel will allow you to set up for a network
printer. I think the same thing is true of the Apple IIGS.

	The Samba documentation is great. FYI Samba allows various NT clients
to think a Linux machine is an NT server. The majority opinion is this
set up is far more stable and secure than actual NT.

	As I said... Check out the Mac groups.
