I successfully installed cups and can print locally I also have been able to print from a remote XP machine until recently. What is strange is that xp will fail to print a pdf o doc file, while a text file edited with notepad prints immediately. For pdf and docs, the printer on the windows side ends up showing an error after waiting and saying "printing". And, this was working 2 weeks ago.... :( (of course a number of things have been happening and intalled since then)
