I have a printer connected to a computer running windows xp. It has printer sharing set up, but I have no idea how remotly use it from linux. Also, how do I configure samba server? I have a printer connected to my linux machine, which I would also like to have shared.
I am using KDE. ...case you need to know

I had a similar setup previously, but while I was able to connect to the printer on my wife's Windows machine the print jobs would always got stalled. I recently got a Linksys Print Server, and hooked the USB printer up to that. It works like a charm now!
