I have installed 3 different home and small office routers on 3 different departments of my company.

#PRINT WINDOW PC INSTALL#
In the box that pops up, in the "Use the specified user account", under User Name and Password, I typed "pi" and "raspberry" which if you recall is the default username and password of a default Raspbian OS install on a Raspberry Pi. Make sure that the selected port is highlighted, then click Configure Port. The properties panel will open.Ĭlick the Ports tab at the top.

ĥ) I clicked Next, then Finish - skip printing the test page at this step! You'll have to select a printer driver to complete the set up of the new printer on Windows.Ħ) Right click on the newly made printer thumbnail and select Printer Properties.

I selected the second radio button then added the full string from the CUPS admin browser in the previous step. From here I was able to manage the printer and execute printing a test page - which worked! I made adjustments to the config file of the printer but I don't think they were necessary.Ĥ) On the Windows laptop, I opened the printers panel in the control panel and clicked Add Printer, then chose "The printer I want isn't listed'. This was my connection string: Ĭlick the arrow next to the word Maintenance and select Print test page. This URL is your connection string that you'll need in Windows.
Pay attention to the full URL once you've clicked on your printer.
The IP address of the print server is 10.0.0.132Ģ) I assumed that the port was 631 (common printer port), so I added that to an HTTP string that I was constructing on Notepad.ģ) I pasted that IP address into a browser on the Windows laptop (the laptop was on the same network as the pi print server) and CUPS admin panel came up.Ĭlick on Printers, then you should see your printer. I made the print server a dedicated IP address so even if the power cycles, these settings are static.

Issue: I could successfully manage my USB printer which is connected to a raspberry pi 3 CUPS dedicated print server, but I could not figure out how to set the printer up on my Windows 10 laptop.ġ) Find the IP address of the print server on the network by accessing connected device report on the network router. So I felt obligated to feedback my final solution to help whoever follows me with this issue. I completed this task after 12 hours or more of trial and error and forum reading. Hi, I had this issue and this was the closest post to explain and tackle my issue. While it does work and work well, I might think you could find other uses for your Pi.īUT, once you get it working with your Pi, I would recommend is that you jspend the $40 USD and pick up a usb print server it will be worth the spend. I can say this will be a good learning exercise. If it can't determine what you use you may need to select lpd/lpr protocol. Then on your windows computer you will create a new tcp port and point it towards your Pi. You can use the lpq, lpr commands to ensure you have it shared well. You still need to mount that printer onto your computer then share the printer via lpd.
What you need to install is the lpd (cups-lpd) service. You don't need the full cups install since all your PI will be doing is moving a print job from the network port to the usb port. While I haven't done this before with a Pi, It shouldn't be any different than any other *nix system.
