Isnt the jetdirect method applicable to laserjet printers connected
directly to the network ?

I didnt notice any way to configure socket option in CUPS - is this
automatically available on my setup ?

Doesnt this imply I have to setup a raw data queue with printer driver
loaded at the client end ?

My basic problem is that I am having a ancient DeskJet printer which
doesnt have driver for Windows XP. It works great from Linux even in
color. I am not sure what all I need to do to get my CUPS working with
Windows. Do I have to provide a driver to Windows even in my setup ?

Ideally I tell Windows to use CUPS via IPP for a Postscript printer and
then CUPS manages the rest. Is this feasible or am I looking at an
impossible situation ?
