TOPIC: running CUPS and printing from WIndows

running CUPS and printing from WIndows 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I set up up CUPS and can print testpages, however printing from Windows isn't working. I can see the printer in Windows but no go, anyone any idea where to look for the solution ???

If your printer uses PostScript (many, but not all, mono and laser printers), it's not hard and has been discussed in the past. See this (special attention to the references at the end of the thread) and this thread (this one's a fair bit more detailed).
If your printer uses a Foomatic-based driver (many, but not all, inkjet printers), you can't use the CUPS driver, but it's still possible with the native driver.
