I have a Brother HL-2030 that I share over my LAN. It's connected to my linux machine by USB. In the CUPS web interface http://localhost:631/admin, I checked 'Share printers connected to this system'. On the windows machine Add a printer (not listed) Selected shared printer by name Location http://192.168.0.26:631/printers/HL-2030-series 192.168.0.26 is the Linux machine's IP on the LAN. It helps immensely if it remains invariable. HL-2030-series is the name of the printer. lpstat -v should list the name(s) of your printer(s). I don't believe I did anything else to get it to work. > Thanks! >
