Hello, everyone,
I have a desktop running Windows XP with a Canon Pixma MP145 attached.
This printer is shared (no password) over the home network and this
allows us all to hit print on our laptops and then get the stuff from
the printer afterwards.
This particular computer will eventually become a HTPC when I find the
time but it will still need to dual-boot for other reasons. Is it
possible for me to set this printer up under Linux to mimic how it looks
under Windows? The objective is that on my laptop I should have exactly
one entry for the printer that works irrespective of which OS the
computer with the printer is running at the time.
The printer works through CUPS, and it has a working driver on Windows.
I can share it, but it shows up as a different printer (with the same
name and model) on computers on the network depending on whether I'm
booted into Linux or Windows.
