Printer Sharing Problem

[audriusb at homelan.lt]

Quoting Rainer Gutkas <Rainer.Gutkas at kstp.at>:

Try this workaround:
  1) install Samba server on printer's owner,
  2) declare printer as share Samba resource,
  3) install Samba client on notebook and connect printer through
      Samba.
I am printing from Windows box in this way.
