For a printer run off a printserver I setup the windows
machine as local, then configure the port to use TCPIP or
LPR and then enter the address and port of the print
server. The wizard takes you through it. However, I
haven't tried printing through cups. I have a Lantronix
print server and just point my Linux and windows boxes at
it.

Anyway, if you want to connect from Windows without
samba, you'll have
to take an unintuitive step: when adding the printer in
Windows, *don't*
specify 'network printer'. Specify 'local printer'
instead, and when you
have to choose a port add a new port, type TCP/IP I
think, and enter the
address of the computer with the printer.
At least, I've seen it work for a networkerd printer,
though I don't
what protocol it used.
Replying to my own post...
I rebooted in Windows to try it out. I can't get ik work,
neither using the method I described and using the method
described on
