CUPS uses IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) so if you want to use the printer from another system, that system should have support for this protocol. I think win98 didn't have support for this, but it was available as an addon. I have a dual boot with WinXP (that has support for IPP) and I can use the printer served by CUPS natively without Samba (not needed if using IPP).

I have a printer attached to my parallel port that I would like to make available to a win98 client on the same subnet. I've added cupsd to the default runlevel.
I've set up dhcpd/ip masquerading for the windows client. It can browse the net and gets assigned an ip.
When going to the add a printer program in the control panel for a network printer, I see a "Network path or queue name". Entering the IP of the computer with the printer or the printer name results in a message telling me the printer is offline (which it's not).
What could I be missing?
