How are you setup NFS or Samba? What version of FC is on each computer? How are the computers connected? etc

You will probably want to install samba(or also known as smb): http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=448977
After it is installed you might want to look at: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=144967&highlight=print+share

Do you mean this
samba printing can be flaky at times. once in awhile no matter what i try the win box just cant print to a samba printer.
in those cases, i find installing print services for unix on the win box to work great.
just go to add/remove,
windows setup.
other network services. add print services for unix.
setting up the printer, add port, choose lpd, enter ip addy of nix box add port ie, lp0, lp1, etc. works like a charm
