Can anyone point me to a URL, book or otherwise, would like to know how to configure CUPS to print from a Windows PC.

Dear list,
To achieve the above I used ICE.TCP on SCO Openserver 5.0.x and it worked wonders.
It comes with a application called ICELPD which listens to port 2346. When a user sends a print to the printer its executes a printer interface script, example printermodel.scr. The *.scr creates a file-file stores it in /usr/tmp. Client gets it via port 2346 and it prints locally.
I've got the ICELP printing deamon for Linux working. My question is where do I place the script file. You could possibly call the script file a driver? In SUSE it asks for a ppd file and does not recognise *.scr. I've check in /usr/share/cups/model
Perhaps someone can recommend something? Perhaps even a diffrent solution totally? I use the ICE.TCP printing solution for speed. Its very very fast. Check out www.jriver.com
Why pay for that? Cups works fine for this, across the room, across the campus, across the world.... From linux, windows, or any IPP client.
I completely agree with John. CUPS works great! I can print from home to my office computer. (It's for when I work from home). Try it, it's really easy to setup....and I'm an idiot. Tom
