Scott said,Open firefox or whatever browser you use on Linux and type 127.0.0.1:631
This will open the cups web interface. There's an option to add a printer. The second screen (I think) is device. There's a drop down box--a white box with an arrow at the right. I believe it's the last choice, but it will read something like Windows printer SAMBA. I am finally getting back to this. I have done the part to get to CUPS web interface. I have gotten the ip address of my Window pc (192.168.1.33). The cups site has these tabs - Home, Administration, Classes, Documentation/Help, Jobs, Printer. On the Administration tab it looks like this: Printers [Add Printer] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin?op=add-printer> [Manage Printers] <http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/> New Printers Found: * [Add This Printer] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin?op=add-printer&PRINTER_NAME=Parallel_Port_1&\ PRINTER_LOCATION=Local+Printer&PRINTER_INFO=CANON&DEVICE_URI=canon:/dev/\ lp0%7CCANON> CANON (Parallel Port #1) * [Add This Printer] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin?op=add-printer&PRINTER_NAME=Parallel_Port_1&\ PRINTER_LOCATION=Local+Printer&PRINTER_INFO=EPSON&DEVICE_URI=epson:/dev/\ lp0%7CEPSON> EPSON (Parallel Port #1) Classes [Add Class] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin?op=add-class> [Manage Classes] <http://127.0.0.1:631/classes/> Jobs [ManageJobs] <http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs/> Server [Edit ConfigurationFile] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin?op=config-server> [View Access Log] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin/log/access_log> [View Error Log] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin/log/error_log> [View Page Log] <http://127.0.0.1:631/admin/log/page_log> Basic Server Settings: Show printers shared by other systems Share published printers connected to this system Allow remote administration Allow users to cancel any job (not just their own) Save debugging information for troubleshooting I don't have either of the printers that are shown on this tab. In fact I have never owned an epson or canon printer. If I put a check mark in the option 'Share published printers connected to this system' and click on change settings then the next screen wants a user name and password. I haven't done anything beyond putting the check mark in the option. I am unsure of what I should do. Last time I got where I couldn't even print to the 4110 that is attached to my Mepis pc. I had to re-install Mepis to get the 4110 to print again. Anyway, I await your expert advice?
