Does anybody know how to get windows to print to a linux mandrake 8.0 machine

Do you have to restart windows to see the printer or will it automaticly appear?

Some links to reference material that should help :
http://www.pcquest.com/mar99/printserver.asp
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html

Once you have the Samba spool service configured on the Linux box (see 2nd link), you set up your printer under Windows.
1. Select Add New Printer
2. Select Network Printer
3. Put in the address of the spool service (\\ip address\spoolname)
4. Select printer type.
5. Cross fingers, pray, and test...
