Share CUPS printer in UBUNTU

This is real easy to share a printer on UBUNTU with CUPS but it's kinda difficult to find :-)

some howto's will tell you to edit the cups.conf or install samba but there is really no need :-)

Here is ubuntu printer sharing in 20 secs :-)

In your browser type http://localhost:631

Go to the admin section and apply these 2 settings.
*Share published printers connected to this system
*Allow remote administration
conferm with your UBUNTU login and pwd

Then on your M$ system just surf to your ubuntu server (http://192.168.1.xxx:631) and browse for the printer
(http://192.168.1.xxx:631/printers/canon9000 for example)

The go to printers->add printer -> network printer->address and paste the above adress :-)
