Sharing Printer on the network


After installing NFS, i now would like to share a printer on the network. Is there a easy way to do that?
Well, is there more than a way, and if so, what is the easiest way...

If you only have Linux clients, use the commandline prog printconf-tui to set up the local printer.
It will then be available on tcp port 515 once you restart lpd
Remote clients can then access it by using a standard Unix Print Queue , giving the name of the printer and the ip address,
eg HP_1200@192.168.1.1 in their printconf-tui settings.

If you've got Windoze clients, set it up under samba and load the drivers into the Win machines using the browse names.
eg
[HP_1200]
comment = Laserjet on Apache
path = /tmp
printable = Yes
postscript = Yes
printer name = HP_1200
