Hi,
I thought I'd share my solution for this little problem I had, just in case anyone else finds themselves in that situation:
I have a Windows XP machine, hosting a HP LaserJet 1000 (win)printer on USB. I needed to print remotely to it via CUPS (there are tedious work-related reasons why the Fedora box can't be a print server). The route that eventually worked was to share the printer in XP using Microsoft File and Printer Sharing in the usual way, and to make a new queue via SMB with the printconf-gui tool (and an appropriate username and password on the XP box), using the foo2zjs driver. However, for this to work properly, the latest foo2zjs driver had to be installed from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ as the foo2zjs supplied with FC1 did not work at all.
Prior to this simple solution, I sourced several solutions from the web, including suggestions to redirect printing on the XP box via ghostscript and connecting via LPD - none of which worked for me (except instructions to use the generic LaserJet driver, whose maximum dpi was poor).
Out of interest, is the latest foo2zjs driver included in FC2? I've been up2dating regularly, and apparently foo2zjs hadn't been updated.
