CUPS question

[jmm]

Used CUPS web interface to set up printer connection....

PCLOS machine is host connected with usb cables...

Windows 7 machine is the one I want to recognize printers wirelessly....

Now that the host machine is working and operable how do I get Windows 7 machine to work wirelessly with CUPS???

Thanks.

Oh dear, idly scanning through networking section looking for 0 answers topics, I noticed yours. Very belated welcome to Forum, where you can find an overwhelming amount of information.  You no doubt know already.  I think from the date stamp it looks like your question feel on the cracks of the floorboards so I will lift your topic a bit.

Networking is probably not the best section for printing related problems, and having the wireless connection may be part of the problem so could belong here.

A very likely reason for nobody jumping in to give answers, there is not many facts 

1.. Have you tried to connect directly with a network cable? Then see if you can print?
2.. The model of your printer, if somebody has the same model you may get a response from the owner?
3.. How experienced a computer user are you? This can help members assessing what degree of help you may need

If you install PCLOS on the Win7 machine it should self configure to CUPS!    (perhaps not just yet!)
But seriously - pop a PCLOS CD in the Win7 machine and boot a live session.  
See if you can pick up your wireless network connection and check in F/Fox address>         http://localhost:631/
If the printer is being shared on the local network via CUPS then it should be listed there. (under right tab)

As I am the family host using a Brother Laser, the printerport properties for Windows machines to print using my Linux box is with the Internet Printing Protocol:

http://192.168.0.150:631/printers/BROTHHL2070N

for info from your Linux printer setup use:
