	Can you use cups to print from a win$ computer?

	I was refering to the command lp, as in 

	Wuler:/home/wayne# lp -d HP710 zzz
	lp: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable

	but I get the same errors using lpr

	Wuler:/home/wayne# lpr -P HP710 zzz
	lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable

	and 

	Wuler:/home/wayne# cupsdoprint -P HP710C zzz
	server-error-service-unavailable

	No errors are picked up in the cups error log with max debugging set.

	Yep, works fine, also all printing through KDE programs (kprinter I think)

	Wuler (localhost)

	Wuler (localhost)

	Windows connectivity
