I want to use my printer which is on a windoze computer to use on my

bash-3.00# cd /dev/
bash-3.00# mkfifo smbprint
mkfifo: smbprint: No such file or directory
bash-3.00#
Why can't I make an extra fifo ?
You forgot to mention what version of FreeBSD you're running; if it's
5.x, you can't create random files in /dev because it's not a
general-purpose filesystem (i.e. the documentation you're reading is
out of date).

printer on the windows pc
