Here are some notes on how I enabled printing from Windows 2000 to
a printer attached to an Ubuntu computer. There may be an
even easier way, but note that I did not have to install samba.

 * On the Ubuntu computer, I made the changes to cupsd.conf
 shown in the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-31236fe6767d32d8849819b22f0da7da5026023b Wiki FAQ], and restarted cups with the command

   {{{/etc/init.d/cupsys restart}}}

 * (''Optional?'') I installed the printer's driver on the Windows 2000 computer,
 using the CD that came with the printer. This installed drivers
 AND added a printer on LPT1. I deleted the printer on LPT1.

 Depending on the printer,
 Windows 2000 may already have the printer driver, so this step might
 not be necessary.
 
 * In Windows 2000, I selected '''Start->Settings->Printers''',
 and double-clicked on '''Add Printer''' to start the
 '''Add Printer Wizard'''. I chose '''Network Printer''',
 and I chose '''Connect to a printer on the Internet
 or on your intranet'''. For the URL, I entered

   {{{http://192.168.1.2:631/printers/ML-1750}}}

 Change "192.168.1.2" to the IP address of the
 computer to which the printer is attached.
 ML-1750 is the name of the printer on my Ubuntu computer.
 Change this to whatever you called the printer when
 you created it in Ubuntu. (Or find the name on the Ubuntu
 computer by selecting
 '''Computer -> System Configuration -> Printing'''.)

 * When I clicked '''Next''', I got a warning that
 said {{{
   The server on which <etc...> . If you want to install the driver
   on your local computer, click OK.}}}
 I clicked OK.

 * In the window that popped up, I selected
 my printer from the list and clicked OK.

 * In the next window, you may choose to make the printer
 the default printer for the Windows 2000 computer.

 * In the last screen, click '''Finish'''
 The printer attached to the Ubuntu computer should now
 be accessible from your Windows 2000 computer.
