IT/Software/Networking/PrinterSharing

Share a printer so that Windows clients can see and print.

You need to have samba installed.

CUPS will handle this almost automatically.

You need to make two small chnage to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

In the [printers] section:

   browseable = yes
   guest ok = yes

When done, restart Samba:

sudo service smbd restart
sudo service nmbd restart

Also, one would want to allow the following ports through a firewall (ufw for example) via:

sudo ufw allow 139/tcp
sudo ufw allow 445/tcp
sudo ufw allow 137/udp
sudo ufw allow 138/udp
