 |
|
Hey, I'm trying to print from windows to my cups server. I followed all guides and things seemed to go very smooth after a while. However, when I print from the windows pc nothing happens. On the windows pc, things seem to go well and the job shows up in cups. However, nothing happens, nothing is printed, while cups says that the job is complete. The shown job sizes are corresponding with the windows job sizes.
I noticed some differences between printing from the linux pc (with user avirulence) and the windows pc (with user mijke) in the cups error logs, however I'm not sure what I can do to solve this problem. I hope someone can help me out with this.
Cups error log:

Here's what I do to print from windows. Go to the control panel and set up a new printer, then select network printer and then enter a URL manually. Windows isn't smart enough to use broadcasts to find the printer, even though it supports IPP evidently, so you have to figure out how to specify the device - usually something like
| Code: | | http://printerver:631/printers/PrinterName |
use http:// and not ipp:// , or it won't work. Then continue on to enter the type of printer and whatnot. After all is said and done, if you enter the url right, it should work flawlessly. The printer will be added to windows and you will be able to do everything that you would with cups .. just without autoconfiguration.
Best of luck.
