Objective to share files on a Puppy Linux laptop to Windows XP machines and also to use the Puppy machine to as a printer server from Windows XP machines on a wired and wireless LAN.
Just spent some considerable time getting this working.
First tried to just used CUPS v1.1.23 as came with Puppy 4.00 to get CUPS lpd/lpr working. Added to the XP machines the extra printing protocol thats required “Other Network File and Print Services
Howto: Set up a simple (insecure) Windows compatible network
Puppy 4.00 as a Samba file server & CUPS printer server(USB)

Hmmm...
I think there must have been some small thing missing for your Samba sharing, and you are now sharing your printer in the other way (I can't remember what it is called, and I haven't tried it, as it would require extra software on my Win98 clients). I imagine if you stopped Samba, you could still print...
At least you can print now.
