Hello,

I am having a problem setting up Windows Server 2008 Printer from CUPS server all my XP MAchines are working like a charm....but not this Window$ $erver 2008. When I am adding the address for the printer in to the Windows wizard then I am getting this error:

"Windows could not connect to the printer. Please check the Printer Name or IP Address."

Thats the address I pasted in: http://192.168.250.240:631/printers/HPLaserJet4200

The Cups error log shows this:

I also can Browse from the Windows Server 2008 Machine to the CUPS Server and I installed the Internet Printing Client.
What could be the problem?
