Hi all, last week I was trying to share an IPP queue from Windows machine to Linux machine on the same network, but without using Samba - I tried it because I wanted to find whether samba printer application will be needed in the future, because IMO it is one of possible outcomes in the future if we remove drivers (manufacturers will not implement a printer application if their printer has advanced features above IPP Everywhere and will say 'use win driver+samba' for advanced features) But I wasn't lucky - I followed how-to's for windows how to share a print queue (which I set up), turned off firewall on the Windows machine and tried to look for mDNS messages from Linux host, but I haven't seen any... it looks 'sharing' in Windows just enables the queue for sharing via Samba... Then I tried to create a permanent queue in Linux host, but I'm not sure about on which port Windows printing daemon lives. Was anyone able to set the printer sharing from Windows without Samba? Is it even possible? Thank you in advance! Zdenek -- Zdenek Dohnal Software Engineer Red Hat Czech - Brno TPB-C
