At my workplace, we have HP P 2015d USB Printer and it is installed on a
local machine having Linux. I wish to share this printer with other users
who are on Windows Vista/XP.
The Cups config allows test printouts from local Linux machine but Windows
cannot seem to detect the printer. The printer is on ip 192.168.0.20
Previous Windows users path hadhttp://192.168.0.15/printers/hp2015.
Please help me in this regard.
Thank you!

As with most *uxes style systems, you may need to add a separate
"protocol" in order for the Windows PC to see this printer. Look at
Samba.
This is incorrect, Windows can print to cups printers provided you use the correct url. In your case it looks likely to be:
http://192.168.0.20:631/printers/hp2015
but you can browse the cups server from IE using the url:
http://192.168.0.20:631
to check this.
There is no need to install samba or anything else. You may need to check that the linux server's firewall allows port 631 (cups) to pass and that cups is also set up correctly to allow remote access (it usually is by default).
