Not professing to be an expert but;
If Fedora and the Printer seem to "see each other" and the printer is
spitting out "something" then my guess would be a driver/configuration
problem on the Fedora box. I'd double check settings and see if
something's amis there.

I see a lot of "printing from Linux to winders boxes" issues on the list
and it seems to be a chronic problem. May I suggest an alternative ??
I have a Netgear PS110 Print Server that I use in my network and no longer
attach printers to the machine. It works great in the winders environment
and setting it up in Linux has been a no brainer since RedHat 7.0.
I know there are those who will insist that I'm avoiding the problem
rather than solving it but hey, if it works.....
