Can I get a Mac printer to talk to a W10 machine?

[unixman_again]

In graphics the printer is controlled by the teacher Mac. We've enabled print sharing on the Mac and I can connect to the CUPS interface using my W10 box. What I can't get to work is add the printer to my W10 box. I can add the printer directly (ie my setup a print queue on my PC for the printer) but I can't use the print queue on the Mac. Any ideas?

 

Ta!

I think that you'll need to use an ipp port if printing via the Mac.

Use the add printer wizard to add a network printer - and select "my printer wasn't found" (or words to that effect)

In the "select printer by name" dialog, add the path to the printer in the format ipp://:631/printers/

Note that you'll have to manually install the drivers (either Postscript or PCL, depending on the physical printer.

Thanks! I had to use http://:631/printers/ but it all works.

 

I owe you some rep - it wouldn't let me give you any.
