Printing to windows shared printer


I have a HP inkjet shared on a windoze box (all windoze pc's can print to it now) and i want to print to this printer using NLD9 SP2. I have tried to setup NLD9 to print to the printer on the windoze box but no workie! Can someone walk/inform me what i need to do to print from NLD9 to windoze box? Thanks in advance

Make sure you have hplip installed. If you don't use cups, you might just need the hplip-hpijs package.

Also things will go smoother if you enter your username/password using the lppasswd program. At least for SuSE 9.3 and on cups runs as the "lp" user, and doesn't allow you to use root for authentication in the printer setup.
If you get a cups username/password dialog during the process, enter the lppasswd values.

If this doesn't help, you need to supply more information than "no workie".
