There is no possibility to do this with STN and no plans that I know of to
add this capability. It's not easily added. Since Samba wouldn't fit onto
the floppy, it would require an lpd solution, which would require you to buy
additional software to connect to a Linux lpd printer.
One alternative is to build your own Linux router with all of the features
in STN and add Samba, which will let you make a printer connected to the
Linux system sharable on a Windows network and no extra software needed.
Here's a link to a series I wrote on building your own Linux firewall (not
as simple to do as STN, but then you can add features that you want):

But consider it carefully before you start this. STN is very secure and is a
very good choice. It is certainly simplier to turn on your Windows computer
and make the printer sharable.

I'd rather do it from the STN machine since it is left on all the time and
my Windows machine is not on all the time. That way the printer can always
be accessible.
Thanks.
