Printer Issues

[mmm11105]

Trying to print from XP to Linux. Here is what I did.

1. Set up the XP Comp. to print to http://mmlinux:631/printers/Officejet-6200-series with Generic Drivers
(printed fine, but in Greyscale)

2.Tried installing CUPS for Windows. Was missing files. Drivers didn't install.

3. Tried using Generic, HP, Full Cups and other drivers but every time (even with the same driver I used in the beginning) it freezes after selecting the driver. I think it Might be a windows issue.

have you tried sharing the printer with samba?

I never had any luck with cups or printers in Unix. I'm installing Samba now. I hope it works. Is there anything special I should know?
