However, if you setup up Windows to look at the port as if its a direct connection you may be able to cheat a bit. I had a HP inkjet that I could set up to share with Linux systems but Windows clients balked because they required that the USB connection was in place at the computer you were printing from. So while the Linux clients could all send print jobs to the CUPS server for that printer none of the Windows clients could. The Windows driver would balk immediately if the USB cable wasn't directly plugged in to the computer you wanted to print from.

I have successfully setup shared printers on a Samba Server that I had no Linux driver for. Though the server could not print to the attached printer all my Windows clients could as Samba Print queue just sent raw data straight through so all the printer got was the file that Windows created before it sent it to the Samba print share. Now as far as printing to your printer from Linux, if the post script driver does not work then you may not be able to do so. Have you used Google to see if a driver is available?

Thanks in advance, Maurice Forte I believe you can use LDAP to handle the security measures you are talking about. I don't know how to set LDAP to do that but someone in a LDAP forum should. However, keep in mind such a scheme may cause an issue if you have users working on a shared project that is kept in one, or both, of their users folders on the server. You should allow users the option to let other users access their files if need be.
