challenge with the windows stuff is not understanding how samba plays into the mix. Do I have to have samba running on the linux box to access a windows printer? Do I have to have samba running for a windows system to access a linux printer?


samba lets linux talk to a windows workgroup/domain. set up samba normally, then use following webpage to debug:


http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/UNIX_INSTALL.html


Test samba by itself.

test that samba is working with `smbclient`

I've had some problems with some printer.  My wifes printer
refuses to work -- it is an hp722c.  linuxprinting.org says
it work, but it doesn't for me.

good luck.
