Setting up a printer on linux and sharing it on windows
Ok… I was trying to do this in my home network, and for the very first moment any one trying to do this will think about using a samba share. There’s another way, which is much simpler.
Set up the cups server and allow internet printing from your cups server. Go to your windows, add a printer and use http://IP-address-of-linux:631/printers/<PrinterNameInCups>
That’s it ! choose the correct printer driver from the windows drivers, mine was HP1100 LaserJet. It worked flawlessly with on troubles.
On the windows side I’m using XP and the linux side is ubuntu gusty.
