As I tried to say windows network printing works perfectly. You can google for win/cups but it's trivial to setup -> network printing -> url: http://tigger.ws:631/printers/epson (whatever) The End. mail me if you want pointers for raw printing James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Quoting jam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Why use samba for any of the printing stuff? Cups works perfectly, nicely, properly. I even use cups for windows to print raw to an epson photo printer, the only missing bit is the ink-level feedback and despite all the PR epson's win print of photos is better than their linux offering. (Clearly Visible) James We use samba for allowing network printing.. I haven't tried using CUPS for doing that.. maybe it allows you to print from windows workstations but I'm not aware of it and haven't tried it.

Why use samba for any of the printing stuff? Cups works perfectly, nicely, properly. I even use cups for windows to print raw to an epson photo printer, the only missing bit is the ink-level feedback and despite all the PR epson's win print of photos is better than their linux offering.
