    Printserver installed and running, test page prints from CUPS on RPi. But

    Android phone:
    Cups Print app finds printers quickly, no printing though

    PC (Windows 10):
    Stuck on which printer settings to use in „Add Printer“

    All helpful suggestions gratefully received

    Dear TJH,

    You can try one of these options when you want to add the printer to Windows:

    1.On the Windows computer, open Windows Explorer and go to the „Network“ item. There’s an icon for the Raspbeery pi ; open it. There’s an icon for the printer shared from the CUPs. Right-click that one and select „Connect…“.

    2.On the Windows computer, select „Add new printer“ then „Connect to a printer on the Internet or network“ and specify the full path of „http://{Playername}:631/printers/{printername}“

    For the Android phone: maybe you can try to use another app.

    Best Regards,

    Thank you. Method 1 worked perfectly for the windows 10 pc.

    I still can’t print from my android phone. I’ve started a separate topic to ask which Android print app others find works best.
