Ah, such automatisms will terminate us :-) Why Cups cannot see the printer shared from windows? It could a permissions or firewall problem. It could be a Cups bug. It can also be a problem within the network (larger ones can experience a delay in packets and Cups has to resolve the printer name). Review your Windows logs. OTOH, I see no offense in having to manually setup the printer. Cups auto- detection system is quite new. In fact, I barely rely on those auto- detection options, neither in linux nor windows machines. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
