CUPS no longer lists "SMB" or "Windows Printer" as an option for new print queues.
Issue
- When adding a new printer using the CUPS Web UI (
https://localhost:631/admin/
), the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" option is missing. - When adding a printer using the Printer Configuration Utility (
system-config-printer
), the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" option is missing. -
When I run
lpinfo -v I
just get the following:network http network https network ipps network lpd network ipp network socket
There should be a line that reads:
network smb
but it's not there.
