yes, it should but it shouldn't much matter since by default, EVERYONE
is allowed to print - so guest without a password is likely to work. The
issue is likely to be - as I was telling you this morning...the Share...

it needs to be \\SERVER_NAME\NAME_OF_PRINTER - whatever the server name
and name of printer are. This was totally important.

If you want, you can send me the output of

cat /var/spool/lpd/HP5L/status.HP5L

but if I were a betting man, I would guess that it will say that each
job has a broken pipe which basically means that it has no path to the
printer which would be as described above - at least it was for me. Also
make sure that you have picked a PPD for the printer for Postscript.
Hey, if I can do it with the cheap Xerox XK35c ink jet printer, you can
do it with the HP5L which has so much more support.
