[plug] CUPS and Shared Network Printer

[ryan at is.as.geeky.as]

I've had similar failures with SMB shared printing, 
if it is a Win2K machine you are trying to connect 
to, install the TCP/IP Print Server and connect to 
it as an lpd resource.

This explains it:

If it is not a Win2K machine, plug the printer into 
your Debian machine :)
