Is this possible (printer question)

[Scott]

I have two computers on the same network and mine which runs Kubuntu, is hooked up to the printer. (Model: HP PSC 1315 Series) The other computer runs Windows XP, I don't really let people on my computer and it is locked with a password, so is there some way I can set up a printer on the Windows computer that will be able to print on the printer currently hooked up to mine. (running Linux)

Does your printer have an ethernet card in it? Or any kind of network card?

No, I don't think so.

Check out this article, it might be helpful:

I had some trouble getting a Samba server to work myself, but this was over a school network and not my home network, so you might have better luck (such as they might have just been blocking SMB traffic to non-school computers).

If that doesn't work, you could try attach the printer to your XP machine.

Since you don't have a network-printer, whichever computer has the printer attached to it must be turned on when you try and print from the other computer. Good luck, and feel free to ask more questions, I might be able to help out with more specific problems

I'll also see if I can help. I currently have that setup with a non-networked printer on the Ubuntu computer using Samba. Fairly simple, and Windows computers access it as normal, \\computer_name\printer_name
