Since forever (ah, about Win 2000) Windows knows UNIX printing. Making windows box talking to UNIX print server its native language makes the most robust setup. It is, however not turned on by default. So (adjust to your version as Microsoft reshuffles location of all the same tools with ever release): Control Panel —> Programs and Features —> Enable/disable features In the long list there is Printing, click on it to expand, and enable LPR and LPD A!!! That I had no clue about (I do *not* do Windows). Now when creating printer choose to create new local port, choose LPR (or does it say LPD?) port and give your CUPS server name, and queue name. The rest is as usual (choose printer driver, I prefer postscript ones). Dumb question: queue name - is that like printer name, in the CUPS admin web page? Yes,correct. Since forever it was called queue name, GUI tools often (or sometimes?) call it printer name, pretty much following M$ tradition. In CUPS web interface on page "Printers" first column title calls it explicitly "Queue name". Incidentally, I use CUPS' own web interface, I never use Linux's print configuration tools (part of Linux admin tools). Well, I used them once somewhere around RedHat 7.1, and was quite unhappy, so I use CUPS web interface: http://localhost:631 on any Linuxes I have to set up printers on. I highly recommend it. I hope, this helps. Valeri You should be done now. Incidentally, I use CUPS with LPD listening on the server side, as the last makes the most robust setup for variety of clients. We have FreeBSD server, and client systems are: FreeBSD, Linux (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu), Windows, MacOS. I hope, this helps. We'll see when my lady gets back from SC next week.

Share it over Samba: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Print_Server You still need to find a driver for the printer on the Windows side, which is not a given, but you might be able to make do with a generic driver such as PCL5 or PostScript. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CUPS is installed on your C6 box, not on Windows. Configure the printer using CUPS on your C6 box and share it. Then add it as a shared printer (over internet port) in Windows on your laptop.
