See if you can find how he configured CUPS to use the printer. You have a wireless connection to the printer because you can connect to its web page. But without the printer manual, it is hard to know what protocols it supports. If it supports lpr or IPP, then you need to know what the print queue names are. If it only supports Windows print sharing, then you have to tell CUPS that. This should be in the printer manual.Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote:No it doesn't work.

I got a connection now with the firefox browser when I typed http://192.168.1.6. I didn't knew this. But how do I connect with cups?Ok - because you can get the printer GUI, you may be able to connect from CUPS. Go to http://localhost:631 and add a printer. For the connection URI, try ipp://192.168.1.6:631/ipp - chances are the printer supports IPP. (The /ipp may be wrong, but it is a common print queue designation.)MikkelThanks anyway for helping Jan
