All Win2k and later come with IPP print capability built in. You just configure it as a network printer and give http://yourlogin:password@your-linux-box:631/printers/printer-name as the printer url.
If the printer has a network card like a HP Jetdirect you can also configure your computer to print directly the printer and bypasss the Samba server altogether.
In the setup printer wizard choose local printer then create a new local port. Enter the IP address of the printer and Windows will attempt to detect which type of network interface the printer has. (I have never had it fail to detect a HP Jetdirect printer.) Choose the appropriate printer driver when prompted and you should be good to go.
For win98 you need to download the wpnpins.exe file to get the IPP drivers. Best to squirel these away, since MS announced the demise of Win98. Those drivers also work on win95.
Tried the above for a win98 box, but no go. From the win98 I can access the
cups admin/printer/etc pages => the network connection is there.
But when I use add printer -> select network printer and add:
- ipp://192.168.4.3/
- http://lp:password@192.168.4.3/
- http://lp:password@192.168.4.3/printers/normal
win98 says the box is offline :((
In win98 software configuration "windows internet printing protocol" is listed
active.
