Two options: 1) CUPS; 2) Samba CUPS is the easiest, since you simply allow connections from outside localhost in CUPS and then set windows to print to ipp://host/printer or http://host:631/printer. If the Windows version you are running does not understand IPP, you can get the necessary driver from Microsft or your printer manufacturer. Samba can be a challenge to get up and running. It is probably best that you steer clear of it unless you also need the other features (i.e., file sharing) in addition to the printer. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
