1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Try searching online for cups filters. Maybe someone made a custom filter file for that printer that works... worth a shot ๐Ÿคท. I've had luck hunting down custom filters for some obscure printers in the past.

    Setting up a shared printer in Windows is (could be) a PITA though... not being able to choose SMB versions can make your Linux setups with SMB a pain ๐Ÿ˜”. That's why I prefer Linux with samba as the print server, you can fine tune almost everything to make it work with any Windows and Linux install.

    thanks for the tip, i will have a look!

    and yeah, funny enough i had less problems getting SMB to work between linux and windows than windows and windows despite it being a Microsoft native.

    Also, true story, LTSC 2019 can't see shares from LTSC 2021, but the opposite works without a problem ๐Ÿคฃ. It was a bug, they eventually fixed it, but took them like a year or so (they threw the ball at users, not setting up the shares correctly ๐Ÿ˜’), and I already reinstalled all rigs with LTSC 2019, so... too late MS ๐Ÿคท... I haven't used LTSC 2021 from that point on.
