    : my printer is on my linux machine using CUPS.

    : how do i print from my windows 2000 machine to it ?

    : I would be keen to know the CUPS/IPP way rather than using samba.

    I should insert a related note---

      For a very small amount these days you can buy a print
      server. This is a small box- about the size of a network switch-
      that serves your printer to a network.

      In your case that would mean that you don't need your Linux
      box to be up and running to print from Windows. Very nice
      when you have multiple machines. And they draw very little
      power and are silent so you can leave them on.

      These attach to parallel and USB printers and are very easy
      to configure.
