[NTLUG:Discuss] Printer sharing from XP to FC6?

[Tony]

Cups can provide the IPP printing also. IMHO i think the samba route
is a bit long. Cups provides you with a web interface on localhost
port 631 and then its just fill in the blanks for the type of printer
and what driver and if you want to share it or not.
