On the server, you have to edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to allow browsing and what client IPs are allowed to connect and so forth. It's a well commented config file - should be pretty straightforward. You can have the Windows machine send whatever you want - postscript, pcl, etc - by selecting different printer types in the setup printer dialogue. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Goodbye, cool world. | | steve@lobefin.net | | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
