Your printer does seem to be shared, but not in the way you think it is. If you went to Control Panel -> Printers -> Add New Printer and manually enter the details, selecting it as an "IPP" printer then you should be able to print to it over the network. What you're asking, however, is to be able to find it when your "browse" your computer. This will involve SAMBA as well as CUPS. I have the following in my SAMBA config file: [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes guest ok = no read only = yes create mask = 0700 [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers browseable = yes read only = yes guest ok = no Grant. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
