The most simple generic solution I can think of that should work for
the majority of printers:
1. Install CUPS
2. Download the appropriate PPD for your printer(s) from
http://www.linuxprinting.org. If printer is HP, install hplip
3. Copy the PPD to wherever CUPS scans for PPDs on startup (Distro
dependent). On Debian, it's /usr/share/cups/model/. There should be
something similar for your distro.
4. Edit cupsd.conf to accept network connections
5. Restart CUPS
6. Configure your printer through http://$server:631
7. Test network printing. Printer should be accessible through
ipp://$server/printers/$printer_name or
http://$server:631/printers/$printer_name (Windows XP only understands
http. Haven't tested Win2k. Win9x requires samba.)
