on the cups server: lpstat -t But if you put the "ServerName" stanza in cups configuration (and "Allow >From @LOCAL" if the client is on a different subnet) the printer should come up in Windows. If it doesn't, something else is likely to be wrong with your network (DNS ? Firewall ? Port redirection to the cups server ?). For samba it depends how your samba server is configured. What's the name of the printer share ? Is it "browseable" ? To find the shares name from the server machine, use: smbclient -L localhost -U loginname Change "loginname" with a proper user name. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
