Look back into the archive for a thread on "Cups for XP Clients".  Jordi
Ferrando Fabra posted a message about this on 1/15/2007.  The reply to
his post was "that worked great."  So if you follow the advice in his
posting it should work for you as well.

I have included a link to the article below.  Unfortunately Jordi
Ferrando Fabra posted in HTML so you have to figure out what is HTML and
what is CUPS in the message.
