I think you can use Samba on Linux to share a printer, but I have only ever used Samba for file sharing and that was some time back.

Another approach is to use a print server. Those work really well and are quite easy to implement. You need a print server that offers a Linux port program for the Fedora box.

Samba (smb) is the utility to connect with windows networks for file sharing and printing.

@Blaz - It sounded very easy, but its not as I couldn't find the Samba printer. Any reasons why?

In the "system-config-firewall", i have also selected both the samba and samba client in the firewall.

Here is an article on using the HP Jet Direct 170x Print Server from Linux (I use this print server with Windows):

Here is an article on the setup of a printer with Samba:

I hope that assists, and perhaps Blaz will assist as well. ... Thinkpads_User

Do you have samba package installed?

in terminal write:
yum info samba

@Blaz, I believe i did, cause it does load the services. Maybe i need  to adjust smb.conf?

[jlai@hp-notebook-linux ~]$ testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)

@Blaz, i think we getting there! I don't think i have samba-client installed....i couldn't find it!

So i tried yum install command, and expect the thing whole samba package re-install but still no help....How can i verified whether i have the files for smbclient? Which directories stored those files?

YEP...it is the smb-client, the hard part about linux is information all over the place!

Thanks, i installed it and it can found it, and it did warm up the printer.. however it's not printing.
I suspect it maybe driver settings.....i guess this is closed.

Final note:
- You can also installed smb-client from the install CD, however Fedora install CD comes with samba V3.5.2, where as i already have samba-common 3.5.5 installed and hence there was a conflict. Hence at the end i used YUM install

The reason is because smb-client was installed and it was a separate packages....the problem and difficulties with linux installation for NEWBIES is that they are all over the place. But i'm happy with the results, it is SOLVED!!

You may have to deal with permissions on the windows server - so that "Everyone" can print to in and not only domain users or something similar

UPDATE - GOT IT ALL WORKING using shared printer with Samsung SCX-4100, the trick is also install linux driver (i.e. PPD file). Initially i used a generic printer driver, that's why it didn't work. Don't think the scanner over network will ever worked because it never did with windows.
