Mark, As far as I know, Win2k supports http printing out of the box, while Win 98 might require a patch, or might not support it at all. Obviously, search microsoft.com.
As far as adding the printer, the URL for the printer is going to be http://<machine ip or dns name>:631/printers/<printer name> Configure cups via their http interface, its stupidly easy. The CUPS documents suggest samba because its an easier way to add a cups printer, but personally, i've never been able to get samba printing to work by itself or along side cups. I found out about cups and have never looked back. HTH, Jeff On Sun, 2002-12-22 at 17:45, Mark wrote: > > I'm trying to print to a printer connected to a machine running cupsd.
