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 it does 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 port lpd and my new printer works fine from Windows 10.
But, why can Windows 10's "Add Printer" dialog find it?
Perplexed, -T
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.
