How does the dlink router share the printer with windows computers? I would at the settings under windows first, and then we can figure out how to get it to work with linux. Just the ip address is not enough. There is ipp (port 631), samba (aka windows networking) are two options for connecting to a remote printer queue. The D-Link documentation may also be your friend here. cups supports just about every imaginable method for connecting to a printer, but you will likely need more info to be able to set this up properly. > kept getting all kinds of port communication errors so I checked my > syntax and tried various types of derivations, nothing worked.
