This may be of little interest to anyone but that has never stopped me in the past. I recently configured cups to share my usb connected Brother HL-2030 (no ethernet port) with my spouse's (funny word, that--mon épouse) windows laptop via IPP. No samba, simple as pie. Local lan sharing. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS/Printer_sharing#Between_GNU.2FLinux Actually I'm ashamed to say configured because all I did was check "Share printers connected to this system" in the Cups adminstration web interface tab and add a printer to the windows (10) machine (shared printer by name) whose location is: http://192.168.0.26:631/printers/HL-2030-series Yes, I always have the same internal lan ip address. -- "It might be a vision--of a shell, of a wheelbarrow, of a fairy kingdom on the far side of the hedge; or it might be the glory of speed; no one knew." --Mrs. Ramsay, speculating on why her little daughter might be dashing about, in "To the Lighthouse," by Virginia Woolf.
