> I am really starting to believe it is impossible to print from Windows XP to a cups server on Slackware 13.37. I have tried numerous "solutions" found on the web and I cannot even get Windows to find the printer on the Cups server. Is there a definitive guide to get this working. I don't know if my problems is with cups or samba.

I've successfully used the HOWTO available in [1] in the past. It's for Gentoo and I used it on CentOS, so I think it's generic enough for you to use it on Slackware. But as I've never used Slackware, YMMV.

If all you want is to print, this should do. But if you want more than that (Samba + CUPS + LDAP), it can be a little tough to do it all by hand - consider an integrated solution, like ClearOS [2] (I'm not affiliated to them, just a happy user).
