Hello Stewart,
I considered adding this when I wrote this howto, but since the howto is
on TLDP, I decided to describe the way to configure Linux to work the
Windows way.
If there are significant advantages to using IPP (I imagine there are)
I'd gladly accept patches to my howto with instructions for configuring
all flavours of Windows for IPP. :-)
