Connecting to a printer in a MS Windows network

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

My Fedora computer is connected to a MS Windows, where the printers
are connected. Could someone please indicate to me how to connect to
the printers?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Does the version of Windows you're using support Internet Printing
Protocol? (IPP) This is the preferred method. You can also use a
Samba connected Windows printer. The form for that is:

smb://<name>/<printer>

smb://mary/lexmark

Probably the easiest way is to use the CUPS configuration web
interface. On the Linux machine, connect to http://localhost:631/

I have a question about the answer to this question. To do this does the
printer on Windows have to be configured as a shared printer?

Yes. You also need "File and Printer Sharing" turned on.
