You will also need to install and configure samba in order to be able to use the printers on a linux machine. www.samba.org has a lot of documentation as well as www.cups.org.

I'm sorry Ken but that it just not true. And it hasn't been true for a long long time.
All Win2k and later come with IPP print capability built in. You just configure it as a network printer and give http://yourlogin:password@your-linux-box:631/printers/printer-name as the printer url.
Now that looks real secure, include your user name/password in a configuration setting. I think I will stick with using samba as it appears more secure. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)
