[kwlug-disc] Printing from Windows on Linux (CUPS) printers

[Raul Suarez]

I've actually found that the links is quite old.

I went to the samba site and set it up as per the documentation

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html

On the windows computer the printer status shows as "Access denied, unable to connect"
