Hello all,
I've got a printer that works with CUPS. It is a HP810C that is connected trought the paralel port. I can print a test page from my linux box. Up to this point it is all fine.
The computer controlling the printer is connected to other computers and I'd like to share this printer with those computers. But I just CAN'T. I don't know why.
It is weird. I can access the HTTP management interface from the other computers but I can't add the printers. The other computers run XP and I'm trying to connect to these printers via http.
My cupsd.conf file is this one:
DefaultEncryption IfRequested
LogLevel info
SystemGroup sys root
# Allow remote access
Port 631
# Enable printer sharing and shared printers.

I think the easiest way to share linux printers with windows, is Samba. After you install samba, there is a setting in the config file to allow sharing of CUPS printers. Give it a shot.

I've tried to do it. It was the first thing I did. I could see the printer but it says that the access has been denied..
