I'm really confused with all the new printers setups available for Linux/Windows networks. I have my printer connected to my Linux desktop which is on the same network as all my Windows laptops and the laptops could print (via Samba) to the printer. All was working perfectly.

Hi all,I have a Canon MP600 printer/scanner connected via USB to a small print- and scan-server running Arch (last update was yesterday).

I that happens, only a power disconnect can bring it back.

Howto Samba on Fedora | Centos 2 years 18 weeks ago

Samba is an open source implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It allows the networking of Microsoft Windows®, Linux, UNIX, and other operating systems together, enabling access to Windows-based file and printer shares. Samba’s use of SMB allows it to appear as a Windows server to Windows clients.
