Here is what I am going to do. I currently have a windows xp box set-up running an ftp server to do my Retrospect backups to. This machine is also sharing an Epson Stylus Photo 785 EPX printer. I am running Panther and have set up this printer using Windows Printing and then choosing the printer.
I have an xbox that I will be converting to run linux on (debian). I want this xbox to run an ftp server and share the printer. Forget the fact that it is an xbox and just consider it a standard debian linux installation. Would I need to use gimp-print, CUPS, samba, or what to do this setup sharing the printer. I also want the machine to be able to be used by a win 2k laptop and the Desktop XP as well. I would rather not install any additional software besides the printer drivers on the windows machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
