Printing

I am a pretty impatient person at times, but most recently have been really,
really, really busy at work so I haven't had (or made) the time to figure
out the solution to this problem (although I did read the HOWTO, I haven't
tried to implement it...):

At home, our printer (HP6L) is connected to my wife's Win98 machine.  When I
boot my machine using Win98, we use file and print sharing to, well, share
and print files.  When I booted into Linux (Caldera OL2.4) and tried to
print, it won't.  Here's what I recall of the configuration:

HP6L is the default printer in Linux/KDE


I have LP as a network printer and entered my wife's machine's "name" into
the domain name for the printing configuration in KDE

That's as far as I have gotten.  Obviously, this isn't a critical thing.  I
was going to try to add the whole RM: command line as shown in the "Running
Linux" book, but didn't know if there was an easier way first.

And to think I don't really have the patience, my first Linux installation
was COL on my Toshiba 430CDT with a PCMCIA Ethernet card.  I worked and I
could surf on out to the Internet.  Took me 4 days to figure out the PCMCIA
portion, but I did do it...

TIA and have a great weekend.
