Larry,
HPLIP does not support connecting to shared printers on a windows system.
And we haven't tested this configuration. However you may want to do a
search such as:
http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+to+windows+printing
For some possible solutions.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello,
I'm very familiar with windows having begun back in the days of
Deskview/386
and Windows version 1. My Linux experience however is very limited.
I have an HP DeskJet D4168 printer connected to a Windows 2000 computer
via
the USB bus. The printer is shared and my other networked PCs print to the
printer fine. This printer only prints, it does not fax, scan or copy.
The PC which has the printer also has coLinux running. I can connect to
coLinux using telnetssl and CygWinX without problem.
I would like the coLinux installation to be able to print to the Windows
2000 shared printer. The documentation I have read leads me to believe I
need HPLIP. I downloaded and installed it with many issues. The HPLIP
documentation
(http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/distros/debian.html) says I
need the following packages: gcc-c++ python-dev libsnmp5-dev
libcupsys2-dev
python-qt3 lsb libusb-dev libjpeg62-dev cupsys cupsys-client cupsys-bsd.
Dselect indicates gcc-c++ and libsnmp5-dev do not exist so I download the
closest thing, gcc and libsnmp6-dev.
An automatic install of HPLIP craps out telling me I need to install
libjpeg. After installing this, HPLIP tells me it still needs to be
installed.
A manual install proceeds much further to the point of presenting me with
a
GUI for locating the printer. At this point HPLIP is blind to my shared
printer when I enter the IP address into the "Find Manually" address box.
There has to be a simpler way! For completeness I include the output from
hpcheck below.
If anyone can help - thanks.
