Samba is pretty much gonna be required for sharing resources to Windows users and within Samba, you can easily setup 'Point & Print' stuff where the driver is installed in the samba server printer share and then all a user need to do to access the printer (install the driver if necessary), is \\SAMBA_SERVER_NAME\PRINTER_NAME Perhaps you can accomplish the same thing with apache server once the above is working by doing something like this... mkdir /var/www/html/printers /var/www/html/printers/printer_name and in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # at the bottom... RedirectPermanent /printer/printer_name/ \ file://\\\SERVER_NAME\PRINTER_NAME but this is completely untested and I haven't a clue that this methodology would work (and of course you would have to have httpd running).
