Sharing a Printer

Hello All,

I have a Canon MP150 printer for which unfortunately no linux drivers
exist.

Would it still be possible to use CUPS & SAMBA to share this printer
with Windows client, i.e. the printer connected to my linux box
(somehow - maybe with a generic driver) and shared on my LAN using
SAMBA. Then printing from a Win XP client using the windows driver???

Is that an option?

Thanks,
David
