Is anyone using CUPS/Kerberos from Windows client

[Clemens Zimmermann]

Hi,

in the meantime we have CUPS 1.5 with ultimate Kerberos support.
But on Windows clients we had IPP 1.0 running, so that we couldn't use it.
Is there any change in using CUPS-Clients with Kerberos on Windows 7 / 8  ?

Regards
Clemens

Is it even possible and, if so, what are the prerequisites - for instance, is this possible with Windows XP or does one  need (the presumably further-developed) Windows Vista? I'm not a Windows specialist, yet I see that it would be pleasant to have the Windows clients printing directly to the same CUPS server as is being successfully used by the Linux clients here with Kerberised IPP.
