[LUG] Printer sharing

 

Hey,

I'm trying to share my printer, connected to my linux box, with a 
windows machine. The printer is set up and working in debian and I have 
edited the location section in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to allow from 
192.168.1.* . I have also uncommented the octet streaming bit (although 
I can't remember the exact location of this file). When I attempt to add 
the printer under windows it simply says windows cannot connect to the 
printer: the URL I'm giving windows is 
http://debian:631/printers/photosmart (where debian is my hostname and 
photosmart the printer name).

Any ideas?

Jon
