Parent article: Linux printing: much done and more to do (Linux.com)

After many fruitless trips to linuxprinting.org, I got inspiried to try to set up a few printers one more time. I easily got Yast to print to the network printers around here by leaving off the '\\' in front of the shares. Doh!

Then I found:

This bit of magic got my home printer going --the guest user does not require a password.

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -php890 -v smb://guest@192.168.0.5/HP890C -P /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-DeskJet_890C-hpijs.ppd.gz

Thanks...
