OK... I know this is probably a loaded question but....
I just set up a wireless network in my home. My openSUSE 11.0 box is wired into my wireless router. My wife's laptop is connecting wirelessly into the network. Her laptop runs Vista.
Our printer is an HP PSC 2210. It is connected to the openSUSE machine. Unfortunately, there is no way to wire it to the router. So, what is the best (I guess I really mean, *easiest*) way for me to share the printer with her laptop? If someone could point me to some step by step instructions, it would really help and be appreciated.
Thanks, Rick
Make sure it is shared for your local network. This would be easiest done via Yast, Hardware, Printer. Go to the Advanced Button, Cups Server settings, and set your permissions to share it to your wireless LAN's network Range. Also make sure it is open in the firewall (both are possible to be set in Yast). You could double check via http://localhost:631/admin to verify the printer is being shared. Note the queue name. Then in Windows, add the printer, and assign it the ip address of your Cups server, i.e. http://<ip address of your Linux box>:631/printers/<queue name>.
