[mdlug] Cups printer/scanner

[Tony Bemus]

I have a HP PSC-1210 printer/copier/scanner and My Ubuntu desktop
recognized it with no problems, both the printer and the scanner.
  I shared the printer out with samba for my wife's laptop and my XP VM.
I had to find some alternate drivers (HP 3420) for windows to use it
across the network.  I then shared the drivers to make it easy to get to
the drivers from windows.
