[cups.general] Can CUPS print to a Windows Print Server witho ut samba?

[v.sudeep at exgate.tek.com]

Hi 

I was trying to do the other way around. Is it possible to print to a
Windows Server from a linux CUPS printer. And that is without using Samba. 

The documentation states that its possible to do it using LPD protocol. I
seem to be having trouble getting this up. The error log states...."Remote
host did not accept control file (32)". 

Any clue what could be wrong ?

Regards,

Yes. This is possible at least with Win2000 and probably other  
versions.

Just install a network printer, choose (I've only seen the french version)
"Internet type printer", then type the following url :

    http://yourcupsserver.example.com:631/printers/yourprintqueuename
    
works fine    

hoping this helps
