So I felt obligated to feedback my final solution to help whoever follows me with this issue. I completed this task after 12 hours or more of trial and error and forum reading. Hi, I had this issue and this was the closest post to explain and tackle my issue. While it does work and work well, I might think you could find other uses for your Pi.īUT, once you get it working with your Pi, I would recommend is that you jspend the $40 USD and pick up a usb print server it will be worth the spend. I can say this will be a good learning exercise. If it can't determine what you use you may need to select lpd/lpr protocol. Then on your windows computer you will create a new tcp port and point it towards your Pi. You can use the lpq, lpr commands to ensure you have it shared well. You still need to mount that printer onto your computer then share the printer via lpd. What you need to install is the lpd (cups-lpd) service. You don't need the full cups install since all your PI will be doing is moving a print job from the network port to the usb port. While I haven't done this before with a Pi, It shouldn't be any different than any other *nix system.
