I have an XP Pro machine configured here as an LP client, that prints through 
a cups server on an LFS machine.  This doesn't use Samba, and requires no 
additional software.

It uses the windows ass-backward "driver on the client" method, meaning that 
once the network printer is installed, one installs windows drivers on the 
windows machine. The cups server does have to be set up for raw printing.

The windows setup was unintuitive, but not hair pulling. The cups setup was 
nearly "out of the box".

Craig
