[Samba] Setup Windows XP to print to CUPS printer on FC5
I am quite sure this question has been asked before but I can't find anything in the archive and Google does not turn up anything useful. I have Fedora Core 5 with an HP LaserJet 5L printer connected to the LPT port. I also have the CUPS printer queue shared. I am trying to setup up a Windows XP laptop with wlan on my home network to be able to print to that printer. I have little understanding of how to make samba work. I have found a lot of information but most of it does not help me or make sense to me. I only want the win xp box to have access to the printer and nothing else. Do I have to setup a user account between FC5 and XP to make this work? I no basically nothing about XP. I don't know if I have FC5 configured to allow XP to see the printer. I have spent 9 hours trying to figure out how to setup two different OS and samba and one printer to work on both OS. I have made no progress in completing my objective. I don't know which way is up right now. Can some one help me?

If you want to use samba to share the printer, then you really need to see the 'Official How-To' http://www.samba.org/samba/docs (see the howto link on the left) but recognize that using samba to share a printer requires a working samba configuration compatible with your Windows XP setup and that is likely more reading, more work than the link that was suggested to you earlier on the fedora-list Craig -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Setup Windows XP to print to CUPS printer on FC5
If all you want to do is make your printer available to XP, you do not need Samba. CUPS printers are available to XP computers through IPP. Connect to your printer from XP as http://servername:631/printers/printername. Other than that, the printer setup in XP is normal. For example, I have a Samsung ML-1210 printer connected to my Linux server named semper. In XP, the connection is http://semper:631/printers/ML-1210. Samba is not used at all to make this connection.
