sharing Windows printer with linux


Hello everone -- Finally SAMBA working and with LinNeighbourhood (do a google on where to get it) on SUSE 9 I can browse files etc both ways (From Linux I can access and mount Windows shares and with network Neigbourhood / Windows can mount Samba shares).

One final problem -- How do I share a printer that's sitting on a Windows box with my Linux computers -- I can't switch this printer over to Linux (it would be easy that way round !!!).

Thanks everyone for help to other questions I've posted on these boards -- I'm up and running 99.999% now -- "just the stinking printer" !!.

In windows right click on the printer and select sharing, give it a share name. That's the first step, I'm uncertain of the rest. I'm sure you will have to install cups and setup the drivers in linux though.
