Hi All, Fedora 38 cups-2.4.7-1.fc38.x86_64 cups-lpd-2.4.7-1.fc38.x86_64 My old printer broke, so I had to replace it. I removed the old printer from cups and added the new printer. I set the new printer to network share (and indeed does share over LPD). /etc/printcap: # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. HLL2300D|HLL2300D:rm=server.acme.local:rp=HLL2300D: Cups-PDF|Cups-PDF:rm=server.acme.local:rp=Cups-PDF: "Cups-PDF" shows in the Windows 10 "add printer" dialog, but my new HLL2300D does not. I have cups-lpd installed, so I just did a manual create an lpr port on Windows 10 and my new printer works fine from Windows 10. If it means anything, all my Samba shared do show. But, why can Windows 10's "Add Printer" dialog not find it?
