[Techtalk] CUPS/Slack/Samba/A printer and not quite understanding the manual

[Davis, Jennifer]

Hi all:

	I have again embarked on a task that is above my head, though I
thought it wasn't going to be originally, and of course I am asking for
help.

	Basically, I got this USB printer Epson C40UX and I installed it on
my roommates win98 PC as her PC is the most accesible one in the house.  It
is running on Windows 98.  I have set up sharing on that printer and it
seems to work as I am able to print to that printer with the laptop when it
boots into Windows.

	The problem occurs when I try to print from linux, especially since
I use Linux on my desktop, my non-office time on my laptop and the server
runs linux (obviously).  I thought setting up CUPS would do the trick.  it
installed okay, but I am just not cluing into the part of the manual that
discusses "Printing With other Systems"

If anyone could explain this in intermediate user English, I would be so
grateful.


below is the error messages from CUPSEpsonEPSON Stylus Color Series CUPS v1.
