[K12OSN] Cups printing from Windows XP?

Hrm, of course, as soon as I sent the previous email I actually tried it
using CUPS 1.1.17 and Windows 2000 and it worked just fine. (Well, I had
to install the appropriate printer driver, but you should also be able
to use a generic postscript driver).

I literally told it to add a printer on my local intranet, typed in the
path (like you did) and it just worked.  You might want to look in
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf and make sure you're allowing access from more than
just localhost (as is the default).

But ... when i try to specify the printer as http://mysystem:631/printers/ws003p (e.g. printer on thin client ws003), Windows reports back that it cannot find the printer.  I have no idea which setting in cupsd.conf I need to change/set.
