11 years ago @phretor I changed the patch with what you said (replaced the ip address with the host name).
I'm actually not sure about the part that you say being distribution specific, as actually is a tab of the cups web interface and I think it's present in most distribution (if cups is installed fully). I rephrased the thing a little bit, let me know if it's better this way.
(I think your previous comment was lost while rebasing the commit to avoid two commits for the patch)
Hi, as I had some troubles configuring the lab printer on Linux, I tried to write down some note that could be useful to someone else. If you think that it's useful to share them on the guide, here they are.
Above all, I found not very intuitive that the connection uri smb://username:password@192.168.42.2/BlackAndWhite contain the password, so I had troubles to authenticate myself. I wrote down also the easy steps (go to localhost:631 etc), if it's too much, imho it could be useful to write down at least the samba connection uri.
Thank you, Marcello Pogliani
