!!! Linux clients printing to Windows XP machine
This can probably be done via some [GUI] tool, but I only tried via the CommandLine.
1) Make sure the file <tt>/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb</tt> exists.
-If not, do </
tt> ln -s / ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb</tt>
+If not, do <tt>ln -s / ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb</tt>
2) get the right driver. For me, the Epson 460 Colour printer that is attached to the WinXP machine needs the escp2-460.ppd file in the cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data Debian package. I don't know if I really need this, or if cups/winxp is smart enough to convert arbitrary print data to the correct format.
3) I created the print queue via <tt>lpadmin -p Shared_Epson smb://ip.ad.dre.ss/shared_name -P esdp2-460.ppd</tt>
