Hi, I have a Samsung printer(ML-2010) connect to my centos 4.2 machine by usb. I want to share this printer with 3 windowsXP mchines in my LAN. Although i have install driver for the printer on all machines, use samba to share the printer, from the windows machine i still have an error"access denied, can not connect to printer" or something similar. In Security Level, i have checked "trusted device: eth0, sit0" , is port 631 automatically open? How do i know that my problem is not caused by the blocked port? Hope anyone can help
windows doesn't use cups port
Actually, you are wrong.
Windows has been supporting IPP since (at least) Windows 2000. I have a entire Windows network where all printing is done using IPP (and thus port 631). Works like a charm.
But, if you are using SMB Printing, then you are correct, it won't use port 631.
Windows actually supports various printing protocols, including SMB, IPP, LPR, HP TCP/IP (JetDirect) along others.
