I am new to CUPS. I configured my printer and enabled sharing to all hosts. The port 631 URL below works fine from my localhost, but I can't connect to it from my windows box on the same network. When I try to access the URL, the browser just hangs and after a long time returns nothing, like it can't find the page. I tried restarting CUPS as well but still got the same results. What is the normal way to verify that you can connect from your windows box to the linux box via CUPS? How should I go about adding the printer on the windows box. Your help is appreciated.
