SOLUTION Remote Printer Trouble

Of all things, I found a solution in a SAMBA related FAQ. My cupsd.conf was already as suggested below, but the other suggestions to uncomment the "application-octet-stream" lines seems to have done the job.

4.3. CUPS Configuration

Windows printer drivers format their output for the printer before sending it across the network. You must configure CUPS to accept the pre-formatted output by uncommenting the following line frometc-cups-mime.convs:

application-octet-stream application-vnd.cups-raw 0 -

Also uncomment the following line frometc-cups-mime.types:

application-octet-stream

Now CUPS must be told to allow connections from other machines on the network. Add these lines toetc-cups-cupsd.conf:

AuthType None Order Deny,Allow Deny From None Allow From All As in the Samba configuration, this configuration allows any computer to connect to your printers and is not recommended for computers on untrusted networks. For information about tightening access control to your printers, see the cupsd.conf man page and the CUPS documentation.

Finally, restart cups with the following command:

etc-init.d-cupsys restart

Your Linux printers should now be shared to Windows PCs on the LAN. Follow the usual steps for adding a network printer to your Windows PCs, and remember to print a test page.
