Printing to Windows via CUPS

A little while ago, I posted a message about my efforts to print to my HP  
L7680 on a Windows box via Samba.

It disappeared, probably because I posted it as a reply with a new subject  
line, being too lazy to start a new message, but the Message ID nested it  
in the thread I was trying not to reply to.

Anyway, the problem is solved.

Here's a link to the webpage that put me on the right track.

Selective Numlock control with X?

Since I like to have numlock always on at my desk machine (whcih is the 
server on my network), I've installed numlockx and inserted the usual 
line in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to get numlock on when X starts.

So far, so good. But....

Sometimes I use a laptop and run it as a remote X terminal on my 
network. At the laptop, I type 'X -query <ame of server>' and that all 
works, too. The only problem is that (predictably) the numlock on the 
laptop comes on when the remote X session stars. Numnlock-on seems a bit 
of a nonsense on a laptop keyboard so I have to fumble with the right 
combination o the 'function' key and something else to turn numlock off 
once X has started,

Is it possible to configure something on the server machine so that 
numlock will be set on for local X and off for remote X?

Thanks,
Gerald.
