net use \\server\printer_name does not show in Device and printer

0

I used the command

net use \\server\printer_name 

To mount a cups shared printer into my client computer.

This printer is visible with the command

net use

but still not visible neither in the printing dialogs nor the "Device and Printer" screen.

How can I make this printer available for printing?

This page should get you going basically CUPs is NOT the same as Windows printer sharing you need to in a BROWSER access your servers CUPs server via either IP or DNS. easiest is IP as shown in the guide link I am pasting below.

Even though this states for Windows 8 with only slight modifications for different util names and all it can be used on Windows 7 or Vista prolly: http://www.gigamegablog.com/2012/09/03/adding-a-linux-cups-printer-to-windows-8/
