CUPS can't seem to find the shared printer on the Windows machines (for that matter, it couldn't find a network printer either, I had to tell it the ip address). How do I find the path through the computer with the desired shared printer? looking at properties in Windows, I see nothing like a shared pathname (not just the printer's shared name). _________________ "Cogito, ergo es.

n0ukf, CUPS is not very smart about finding printers. Here is how I set up CUPS for a shared Windows printer:
I have had CUPS to not even find a printer connected to the computer on which CUPS is running. _________________ Puppy 528, Full Install |

Apple software, almost as good as Microsoft software. Huh?

As Hotdog said to an extent of first you have to use Samba. The printer has to be shared in Windows. And naturally the windows PC has to be powered up all the time without going to suspend mode. |

CUPS does not auto-detect Windows shared printers. Read here under "Connecting to a Windows Shared Printer". It explains how to find the correct device names in Windows.
Just to be clear, you do NOT need to install a Samba package. The necessary Samba client tools are already in Puppy. |
