Any recommendation on how to do something similar for windows?
Can I share a printer in the network through linux?
I have an old HP laserjet 100 and back in the days the one roller that wears out came with the cartridge (i think it's the drum the pigment sticks to).
It only on windows XP or after long fiddeling with linux can make it print (fun fact: the printer basically forgets it's a printer because it has by design no permanent storage for it's firmware. On each computer boot you need the computer to push a blob of firmware in again). So now I have an old laptop booting up linux just to print. An raspi I could print directly to would be perfect!
