Also check /etc/cups/client.conf, particularly for # ServerName: the hostname of your server. By default CUPS will use the # hostname of the system or the value of the CUPS_SERVER environment # variable. ONLY ONE SERVER NAME MAY BE SPECIFIED AT A TIME. To use # more than one server you must use a local scheduler with browsing # and possibly polling. # #ServerName myhost.domain.com Put the windows box name into that line, if it's not already there.
