This paper discusses print serving on Linux using the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) and Samba. Print serving is much more complex than file serving. With file serving, the "back end" is a Linux file system. All the specifics of hardware, such as the disk, the DASD, the controller and so on are abstracted away by the Linux kernel and operating system. CUPS, is an open source Linux print server that supports LPD and the newer Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). Samba is also an open source package that lets Linux look like a Windows file and print server. It enables Windows desktops to access CUPS-defined printers, using a familiar desktop printing interface.
