I have three printers in my house. I also have 3 computers (will soon have 4).

All three printers are WINDOWS-ONLY printers, with one exception- my HP deskjet 722c, which really is not a very high quality unit. It's downright medieval as far as quality is concerned. Pencil sketches come out looking better. On WINDOWS, however, it's easily the best printer in the house, coming up at nearly photographic quality. My question is really quite simple:

As I understand, Samba would let me share my printer with windows boxen (theoretically). However, this is not what I want to do. I want to put the printer on a Windows box, and use it via Samba. Can this be done?

only reason I ask is because I see descriptions saying I can share one way, but see NO information about sharing the other...

Thank you. I do not (yet!) need help setting it up- I just thought it'd be really neat if I could dodge paying for ANOTHER printer... :D

You've made my day, nearly. :D
