Tim, CUPS browsing packets are CUPS-specific and only made use of by CUPS. Windows does not understand/use them. Windows finds printers via SMB by default. A Linux machine needs Samba running and appropriately configured to share printers to Windows boxes. This is probably the case on the machine of the original poster. Current system-config-printer does not configure Samba shares of local print queues (would be a nice idea to add such a feature), so it would be better for usability to add some remark to the printer sharing check boxes telling that this affects only sharing to Linux/CUPS machines and not to Windows machines.
Windows also supports IPP but I do not know whether it is able to scan for IPP printers (CUPS queues are also appearing as IPP printers in the network). -- printer share parameters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
