[opensuse] CUPS printers in windows?
Hi all, How can I get a windoze machine to recognize a CUPS printer? I think I've achieved it before using Samba, but is there a simpler way? (The necessary driver is already in the windoze box).

I am not sure what "windoze" is, but if you are talking about the popular Microsoft Operating system called "Windows," then yes what you describe is possible. You can use IPP, Windows XP supports it so I suppose Vista does as well. The URL you will use is http://hostname:631/printers/PrinterName Replace "hostname" with the name or numerical host identifier, and "PrinterName" with the name of the CUPS printer queue. You might need to change some CUPS settings (namely permissions) to get this working. If you want to use Samba, it is rather easy IMO. Just install Samba and setup the hostname and workgroup name... the CUPS printers are automatically shared... and you still have to mess with permissions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's called "Microsoft Windows (tm)". "Windows" by itself cannot be trademarked as it is a word in common usage. It is often abbreviated and, just like AIX, HP-UX, and Linux are often called aches, HP-SUX, or Lin-sucks, it's detractors sometimes call it M$ windo$e, windoze, or winblows. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

Hi! My QEMU virtual machines, created on 32-bit OpenSUSE 11.0 don't work on 64-bit OpenSUSE 11.1. The Windows 98 VM stops while booting, with the messages that there's trouble with configmgr. WinXP also doesn't boot. Has anyone already encountered this "bug" -- or is it just normal behaviour? Must I redo all my VMs from scratch? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm... anyone using QEMU at all? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did - before I discovered VirtualBox. I can't recall that I was able to run iso image to install openSUSE. It would start and then quit with kernel crash screen. Though, I can't recall anymore, was that because of kernel driver. You can check what happens if you don't load kernel driver. The 32 bit system would work fine. Both systems 32 and 64 bit were installed on the same 64 bit hardware. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Aha, just found it, sorry for the noise. Tell windows to connect a network printer at the URI: http://printhost:631/printers/printername Wow, that was easy!
