The first of these is for printing from Windows. Both the laptop and desktop are running Linux. The second one, on debiantutorials.org, is the one I had been using.

As I mentioned above, I set CUPS to "Share published printers" on the desktop and to "Show printers shared by other systems" on the laptop. Is there something else that I need to do? Do I need to modify any of the networking config files on the laptop for it to see the published printer? I don't need drivers on the laptop, do I? That would be a pain since I had to compile the latest version of gutenprint to recognize my printer. I'm not sure that I want to try to compile drivers on the EEE.
Any help appreciated. -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro_42@yahoo.com
