Hi All,

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 it does over LPD).

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
port lpd and my new printer works fine from Windows 10.
But, why can Windows 10's "Add Printer" dialog find it?
Perplexed,

A guy over oh the CUP mailing list helped me figure it out.
My printer was in a suspend/power save mode. As soon as I
took it out of suspend, it showed up in Windows 10.
Mumble, mumble.
