ADVANCED HELP NEEDED on CUPS + WindowsClient->ipp/samba

[nuno inácio]

Some developments...

I've insstalled IIS on a Win2k to try to understand there ideia of IPP.
It works slow but it is functional.
They also accept the 4 types of authentication (none as the 4th). Apperently nothing much differs but there are 2 details to consider.

1) They use port 80 for interface.
2) They have a diferent url http://server/printers/epson/.printer

If u dont use the ".printer" finale no comunication is achieved.

I've tried port 80 with same results as for port 631, in fact they can't even be both on or black magic starts to happen (things like missing printers although in printers.conf file and all sort of things).

So I'm gessin a ".printer" link to fool windows... but I dont know where to put it so that I could get a similar URL...

thx Kurt, as your still the only one even responding to any of the posts in several foruns.
