Printer connectivity


Hello I am having some challenges getting my HP OfficeJet T65 printer to work. Here is my application. I have LINSPIRE installed and working on my desktop. This workstation is connected to my printer and works fine. I also have two wireless laptops using Windows XP and they also need to be able to print. How can I configure my network to allow all users to print.
P.S. I have apent quite a bit of time hunting around for answers and have had no luck.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Well someone posted a TIP in the Hints, Tips and Trics section of the Official Linspire forums a long time ago on howto do this. I think it was by using Printer Sharing (remote CUPS or something). It required editing a few config files but it shouldn't be that easy.

I used this method a while ago but I switched to a Router with buildin Printer Server (USR-8001) it works fine for both Windows and Linux and it doesn't require a system to be running 27/7 to make sure everyone on the network can print.

the post can be found here (Warning! this link point to the Linspire forums at forum.linspire.com).

It's about Linux -> Linux printer sharing, but with some luck it also works with Windows. It uses IPP and IF I'm correct the Printer Servers that are build into routers these days also use this.
