Printing Linux to Windows using Samba

[Dozer]

Okay, here's what I want do do:

I want to be able to print from Mandrake to my Windows XP box. My XP box has an HP psc2110 attached via USB. I have shared it, and I can see it on the Mandrake box (I'm using Samba). I can't seem to get it configured correctly, though. Any advice from anyone that has similar set-up?

if you get it working, I'd like to know as well..

i havent messed with printng on my mandrake box, but there have been a few occasions where it would have been useful.

It works! Webmin to the rescue.

I found the correct driver (it actually works with an older driver, but it works!), fired up Webmin, configured the network settings, and shared the printer in Windows. Works like a charm! The key was finding a driver that worked with the printer. The published CUPS driver for my printer would not work. The old deskjet driver did. If you Samba system is working okay, you should have no problem, Blake.
