To share either one, you first must set up a queue under Linux.  In
other words, get it to work in Linux first, then you can move on to
sharing it to the Windows world.

To share it via Samba, you have to create a share point for it in your
/etc/samba/smb.conf file.  It's easiest to futz with that if you use
swat.

As for scanning...I'm not sure.  You need to see if there's a backend
for it (or another one that works) under sane.
