[mdlug] Trouble printing to CUPS from other computers

[David Lee Lambert]

I have a DeskJet attached to a computer running Ubuntu F (originally Ubuntu 
D),  and I want to print to it from a computer running Windows ME.  Several 
months ago, I had the printer attached to the Windows ME box,  and I was able 
to print directly and also from my laptop (which was running Debian 3.1,  now 
Debian 4.0, with LPRng).  I had to do some tinkering to figure out how to 
print from my laptop after moving the printer;  but I can't figure out how to 
print from Windows.  I've tried configuring Samba on the Ubuntu box;  
installing a Postscript driver on Windows;  and reconfiguring Samba+LPRng on 
another computer that runs Debian 4.0.  Nothing works.  (Actually,  I can't 
print from the second Debian box either...)

I posted a question about this problem on the "Ubuntu Answers" system,  at:

https://answers.launchpad.net/cupsys/+question/7311

over a month ago,  but have never gotten an answer.  Has anyone been able to 
get Windows ME to print to a CUPS printer?  

Something I have not tried yet is setting up an ssh account on the Ubuntu box 
for incoming Samba print jobs;  but I'd rather just print directly to it 
using the Widows print protocol.   

The printer is an HP DeskJet 932C.
