For an SMB-shared printer on a remote host, the DeviceURI should follow this scheme: smb://[username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port]/[printer_name]" More information is available in the CUPS documentation: http://localhost:631/help/spec-ipp.html#device-uri http://localhost:631/help/ref-printers-conf.html#DeviceURI -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
