Setting up printer on Windows XP

Post by paulchany »

Hi,

I have connected a HP Bussiness Inkjet 1000 printer to my Bubba Two.
I want to setup this printer from my dual boot desktop systems: on GNU/Linux and on Windows XP Professional.
I have success on GNU/Linux system but on Windows XP haven't. From GNU/Linux system I can to print with this printer successfully. :)

I red the Bubba Manual, but still haven't success on Windows XP. :(
On Windows XP when I open My Computer, I can't see there neither Bubba directory, nor my shared printer. When in Network Places, I can see 'bubba' and if I click on 'bubba' I get the opened webpage in my Firefox Internet browser with bubba's home/ storage/ etc. directories, but there I can't find my printer.

When I try to add printer in Control Panel I don't know how to do that. I tried various modes but without success. I can't find there my printer's address (IP, http, ...).

So how can I setup Windows XP to use printer that is connected to my Bubba Two?
Any advices will be appreciated!
Best, Pali

Open "Printers and faxes", then click "Add printer".

Now choose "Local printer attached to this computer" (Looks strange, but is the way to go! :)), click next.

Now click "Create a new port" and choose "Standard TCP/IP port" in the dropdownlist, click next.

Then type the IP address of your Bubba in the appriopate field, click next.

Choose the appropiate printer.....
