I remember having to try a handful of URIs. Finally settled on "lpd://hostname/queue". I defined the hostname in my /etc/hosts file and I DID NOT specify the port (515) as you have. So my URI in CUPS administration looks like: lpd://WinMachine/WinPrintQueue With and /etc/hosts containing: x.x.x.x WinMachine And the print queue on the shared printer is WinPrintQueue. Another thing... Do you have a firewall on the Windows machine? If so you will need to allow traffic on port TCP 515. Probably not the solution but worth looking at. -- Regards, Eric
