Enlighten me please.

I have an HP Office Jet 5505 all-in-one on my main box. This isn't a network printer, and by that I mean no build in network card, it just plugs into the USB port.

I like to make the printer part available to other machines with SAMBA. I haven't succeeded yet. I will one day, but I was just wondering about the method the whole shebang uses....... Is it:

1) The remote box prints via SAMBA, uses the CUPS back-end of the local machine and treats the print job as a local job.

or

2) The remote box uses it's own CUPS back-end and delivers the print job via SAMBA directly to the local machine, so that the print job is seen as a remote job.

I would also like some Windows machines to use this printer and I wonder if I can do this without installing the Windows drivers on the machine, in other words, with method one.

Cheerio,

Hans
