Re: Sharing a Printer

i've setup my printer with a generic canon driver and it is recognised
and setup on my linux box.

Then i managed to install the printer on my Win XP machine as a network
printer using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.77:631/printers/canon-mp150

However when i try to print from the windows client, the document is
put in the Win XP queue - i can see the status changing to 'spooling'
then 'Error' but i have no detail on the error so i don't know why it's
failing.

Any idea what's wrong?
