When you say "find it" did you have it configured as shared in Samba, so windows clients could browse to it? I think you can print to IPP printers created by CUPS from Windows, but I don't think Windows can join in the auto-discovery that CUPS does. So you end up adding a printer manually and pasting in a URL in the Windows client. I would go with the later for my own use, since I add web clients rarely and prefer not to run Samba, or software written to implement other badly designed protocols where possible. Mark E will probably correct me if I'm wrong since he does this stuff all the time. > No doubt there is a simple answer somewhere. Probably the CUPS website. Also Debian CUPS doesn't expose itself by default in some versions, so worth checking with "netstat -anp" or the cups.conf file to make sure any Debian derivative isn't being equally "security conscious". -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
