![]() So I felt obligated to feedback my final solution to help whoever follows me with this issue. I completed this task after 12 hours or more of trial and error and forum reading. Hi, I had this issue and this was the closest post to explain and tackle my issue. While it does work and work well, I might think you could find other uses for your Pi.īUT, once you get it working with your Pi, I would recommend is that you jspend the $40 USD and pick up a usb print server it will be worth the spend. I can say this will be a good learning exercise. If it can't determine what you use you may need to select lpd/lpr protocol. Then on your windows computer you will create a new tcp port and point it towards your Pi. ![]() You can use the lpq, lpr commands to ensure you have it shared well. ![]() You still need to mount that printer onto your computer then share the printer via lpd. What you need to install is the lpd (cups-lpd) service. You don't need the full cups install since all your PI will be doing is moving a print job from the network port to the usb port. ![]() While I haven't done this before with a Pi, It shouldn't be any different than any other *nix system.
