Hi, same guy as below (sorry for Anonymous)
I figured out that I had to MANUALLY start the TCP/IP print service on XP.
But now, when I try to print, Cups comes back at me with:
"Remote host did not accept data file (1)"

But I cannot print to it. I've tried using smb://guest:@officepc/hpdj and many other variations but nothing works (yes the guest account is enabled). I then decided to try LPD. I have the Print Services for Unix installed on my XP machine. I added the printer in the Cups in the form lpd://192.168.0.2/hpdj but then I get the following error.
