1. Introduction
Debian GNU/Linux
(http://www.debian.org)
is the premier volunteer-supported Linux distribution.
Unfortunately, setting up printers in Debian can be difficult. Also,
simple step-by-step instructions for sharing printers between Windows
and Linux using the latest tools are hard to find. This HOWTO was
written to address both problems.
This HOWTO will demonstrate how to use command-line tools to configure your
Debian system for printing. It will explain how to send documents
from Linux to Windows printers and how to share Linux printers with
Windows PCs. Some troubleshooting examples are also given.
