Printing in FC3 is in considerable worse state than in FC1.
Eggcups is well named because it is as fragile as eggs... How does one
cancel a print job. Right click cancel = application crash.
A new "feature" of my Epson stylus photo 1290 is not printing to the end
of job.
Printer sharing is on but the printer remains invisible to my Mac and W
XP Pro computers.
Where should I take these issues?

To share to the Mac with Linux, you may share it with CUPS and Mac (as
long as it is OS X) should pick it up. As for Windows, you will have to
share it as an SMB share, otherwise Windows will remain blind to it. To
share it like that, you will need the samba packages and just configure
it... I'd suggest gnomba or swat to properly configure the printer, you
can then use system-config-samba to configure shares if you want.

Well it doesn't see the printer I'm afraid

printers are shared to everyone
I had to do a lot of hacking to get the samba share to work in FC1 but
after it just worked. Do I have to jump through the same hoops for FC3?
Which version of Fedora will have correct configuration for printer
sharing to W machines? It seems to be quite a common use for FC
machines.

Now that is very good question... currently the system-config-samba
program lacks a LOT of samba functionality. You have to use SWAT to
properly configure samba on any situation. For the CUPS problem, how is
your firewall set? You will need to open ports 631 (printer) and 515
(spooler) both TCP and UDP and you may need to manually add the printer
in MacOSX

OK thanks that was the answer I needed.

OSX - i have seen somebody printing to a fc printer server (ok, it was
running proprietary filters... LEXMARK laser printers.... GRR!) from OSX
word, (the printer was picked up autmatically as long as it was able to
resolve the DNS... But every single one of them was named "created by
system-config-printer".... Oops!). And the 1 page with "hello, test!"
was 20 pages of binary rabble....

I've also seen MacOSX prin to both a FreeBSD print server running CUPS
and a Linux (Red Hat 9) server running CUPS too... That was at my
university. I think you would need to install some CUPS modules to OSX
in order to successfully use it... I'll try to ask the IT who set that
up at the university and see how did he got it running.

Ie. the OSX guys either got to install some app onto their systems, or
they must use samba?
Not my mac, just some friends of mine. But i *did* believe that ipp was
a standards-based protocol, and cups was cups... So that mac and linux
should work perfectly well together when it comes to printing.
BTW. it works perfectly from the FC3 boxes it is intended to serve.
But something that *is* a pain in the ass about cups auto-config is that
it needs DNS. If it didn't it would be so extremely simple - just plug
it in and print, if cups can't find the correct server at the address,
just use ip address directly (v4 OR v6). Putting up a DNS server /
maintaining a bunch of host files is a PITA. Especially if there is a
DNS/DHCP server running windows that you have no power over, which can't
look up the correct ip for the hostname of the sharing box.
Without this trouble, cups auto-config would be a dream...

File eggcups bugs against desktop-printing. The Epson issue is probably
a driver bug (try printing using different programs).
