STEPS TO SHARE PRINTER FROM LINUX TO WINDOWS.
1.connect the printer and share it properly for all the hosts.
2.Restart smb daemon.
3.Samba reads the /etc/printcap file.
4.Search the printer from windows. You will surely get the printer there.
The section that is responsible for sharing printers in smb.conf is as follows.
load printers = yes
// Load the printer from cups.
cups options = raw
// This option assume that the windows system has a driver that has been shared by the samba and spool the jobs through the samba.
; printcap name = /etc/printcap
printing = cups
NOTE: The driver for the shared printer should be in stalled in the windows host.
