Also, a small addendum/caveat: I *did* install cups with samba USE |
| 10 |
enabled. But I did not, during this exercise, use the samba server at |
| 11 |
all. Samba was never running. I am not sure whether the samba USE |
| 12 |
makes a difference at all, since the article I linked to suggest that |
| 13 |
Windows plays well with IPP. |

Insofar as the link from the gentoo forum is concerned: its main |
| 16 |
advantage over the one I used is that you don't have to load the |
| 17 |
printer driver on every computer in your network (I have only two |
| 18 |
windows boxes to deal with). |
