OpenWRT Kamikaze Printer Sharing Windows XP update
If you follow the guide on printer sharing I mentioned yesterday about how my usb printer showed up as /dev/lp0. Well, another helpful hint is that if one of the client computers you're setting the print service up on has a printer already installed, uninstall it. Simply adding a TCP port after the fact doesn't allow windows to recognize that the printer is ready to print. If the printer was installed as a local USB printer, Windows will continue to look for a USB connection in order for it to believe that the printer is ready to print. So just delete your printer and follow the guide and you'll be alright.
