If I digg more, I see that there is few other functionnalities that are

print server.

I am using the same release of the driver, and same configuration of the
device (number of tray, paper size, etc...)

So, there is a solution to enable all functionnalities, or Windows have
some specials ways to talk to the printer ???

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but it sounds like you are
asking if it's possible for windows users to access the Linux CUPS
configuration.

If so are you sure you want to do that ???

IIRC, if you really want to just bring up a browser and for the URL...

<Server address>:631, eg...

192.168.0.150:631

Of course you'll have to supply a password and all the permissions will
have to be right.

You could also use VNC.

My memory is a bit fuzzy on this as I've found once CUPS is set up you
so seldom need to fiddle with it you forget what you did before.

I guess the moral of this story is set it up right the first time and
then go play Warcraft or UT2004...
