I've installed MINT 14 KDE in a couple of PC's
The printer via USB works fine in one of the PC's (HP-Laserjet-1200). The option of share printer is marked, but the other PC (with MINT 14 too), doesn't find it automatically, and the manual options did't work for me.
If I try find it via SAMBA printers, the option to search, is disabled and cannot select it
If I explore the local network (smb:/), I can find the PC, but can't see the folder of shared printer.
I suppose that something is bad in my actions.
Please, help me. Thanks

Re: Problem with Shared printer from Mint 14 KDE
Since I don't know KDE all I can offer is the old school method - and one that does not use Samba:
[1] From the machine that want to connect to the printer open your Internet browser and type:
Replace 192.168.0.100 with your own
[2] Add the remote Printer:
CUPS for Administrators > Adding Printers and Classes > Printers > Add Printer > Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) >
In the "Connection" box enter the location and name of the remote printer in any one of these formats:
Since both the machines are running Linux you can use an mDNS qualified hostname since both are probably running avahi:
THere's probably a way to do this with the built in KDE printer utility but I haven't used KDE since V3.
[1] From the machine that want to connect to the printer open your Internet browser and type:
Code: Select all
192.168.0.100:631
[2] Add the remote Printer:
CUPS for Administrators > Adding Printers and Classes > Printers > Add Printer > Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) >
In the "Connection" box enter the location and name of the remote printer in any one of these formats:
Code: Select all
ipp://WORKGROUP_NAME/MACHINE_NAME:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME
ipp://MACHINE_NAME:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME
ipp://192.168.0.100:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME
Code: Select all
ipp://MACHINE_NAME.local:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME

Re: Problem with Shared printer from Mint 14 KDE
Thanks
It works OK ... with MINT 14 KDE (curiosly today I could see than in MINT 13 KDE the printer appears in Shared printer without do anything).
I'd need to share it now with Windows XP.
Any idea??

Network Printer Sharing: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=28397
CONNECTING TO A MINT PRINTER FROM WINDOWS XP ( Win7 really isn't all that different ).
Use the "Add Printer Wizard".
Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes > Add Printer > The Add Printer Wizard opens
Check "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer"
Check "Connect to a printer on the internet or on a home or office network"
You can either browse for it or enter it directly. Examples:
[code]URL: \\WORKGROUP_NAME\MACHINE_NAME\PRINTER_NAME
URL: \\MACHINE_NAME\PRINTER_NAME
URL: \\192.168.0.100\PRINTER_NAME[/code]
OR,
[code]URL: http://WORKGROUP_NAME/MACHINE_NAME:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME
URL: http://MACHINE_NAME:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME
URL: http://192.168.0.100:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME[/code]
You can even try it without the ":631"[/quote]
