This is a (quite long, LOL :D) tutorial I wrote on the subject and I believe it covers most user scenarios, so it uses safe methods (known to work in generic scenarios, when the printer's manufacturer and model are unknown). I also tried to write it as plain (simple) as I possibly could, so that even regular users (users that are not tech wizards, but can find their way around a computer and can probably install a distro like Ubuntu on a PC) can configure the Linux print server and add the shared printer on a Windows install.
You can download the tutorial in PDF and DOC from here or here. Also, here are the plain (unarchived) PDF and DOC files.
I hope this tutorial helps users that have given up using their old (but working) printers, just because they don't have x64 (64-bit) Windows drivers :).
I did this with a raspberry pi next to my ISP 's router and printer in the basement. The whole family prints to it from their various devices without any trouble at all.
You used the tutorial or set it up on your own?
Oh I set it up years ago. It's never given be any trouble.
