In my office, we have a Windows XP machine serves as file server and
there's a SHARP AR158S printer connect to it. All of my co-workers use
printer through the net work. I'm the only person usign Debian. I set
up the samba and did the configuration and be able to see the shared
folders using smb://server/. By the way the printer is shared on the
LAN.
I'm using KDE. I went to Control Center->peripherals->printer. There
are 2 options for network printer. One is network
printer(TCP). Another is newwork printer w/Ipp(IPP/HTTP)
In both options I entered smb://server/ppp(my windows XP working
printer name) as printer address and In the subnetwork field I input
192.168.1. after that I hit scan but it tells me:
"you are about to scan a subnet(192.168.1.*)that does not correspond
to current subnet of this computer (127.0.0.*) .Do you want to scan
the specified subnet anyway?"
Have a look at:
http://excess.org/docs/linux_windows_printing.html
go to localhost:631 in a webrowser and install the printer there; you'll
need to add yourself to the lpadmin group or login as root.
It is pretty straightforward.
From the message you received, it's probably worth checking yournetworking setup although if you can see the windowsXP shares, it's
probably OK.

After that I did

lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed: client-error-not-found
I went to http://localhost:631/admin and under Printers I can see
serverPrinter is there. I started the printer and hit "Print Test
Page". But the test page never get printed out. I Configure the Printer
but the web-browser tells me "client-error-not-possible". After that I
did Modify the printer but I can not find model driver for my WIndows
XP printer SHARP AR-158S.
The printer's diver is already on Windowx XP server. Do I still need to
install the linux driver on my Debian box? I searched in
http://www.linuxprinting.org and google, but can not find and linux
driver for SHARP 158S driver. Does this means I can not share the
printer with my co-workers, simply because I use the different System?
Can any of you help me please?
Thanks,
Rocky
