Re: [HPLIP-Devel] Printing from windows to CUPS server with HPPhotosmart C3100 series driver

[Lukas V. <ph...@gm...>]

Hi,
I don't use samba at all, but I suppose it's only mistype. So, I
should test it with driver "Backend Error Handler" instead of "HP
Printer (hplip) in cups and if windows client is still crazy after
this change, it's not problem in hplip. But otherwise it is. Have I
got it right?
thanks for your reply
Lukas
