[opensuse] RE: Printer sharing with Windows without SAMBA
I have setup samba once before to share a USB printer for my sons system (windoz). Is there a way to share a USB printer with Windoz without Samba ?

Duaine, If you have the printer driver installed on the 'doze machine then you can create a tcp/ip port and tell it to print directly to cups via the ipp protocol. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I tried for several hours to do this to no avail. Could you please go through the windows side step by step.
