Well, don't know about the linux part (lol - I'm still learning a lot about
Linux, especially printers configuration systems), but I used to have the
same problem when I had 2 Win98 connected through a direct cable (ethernet
connection), with resources (and, of course, the printer) shared. It might
be a Windows thing (it could be configuration, but as Linux /really/ runs a
network better, didn't bother. Soon changed all Linux and left Wintendo on
a dual boot in one of the machines ).
