Samba for file sharing to windows clients. NFS for file sharing to Linux 
clients. And CUPS for sharing printers. Use the Fedora 
'system-config-printer' utility for configuring CUPS on the print 
server. That seems to make Fedora a lot happier. And be sure to tell 
CUPS about your local network by adding a line like

Allow From 192.168.1.0/24

to the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file on your print server.

HTH,
