- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Try searching online for cups filters. Maybe someone made a custom filter file for that printer that works... worth a shot ๐คท. I've had luck hunting down custom filters for some obscure printers in the past.
Setting up a shared printer in Windows is (could be) a PITA though... not being able to choose SMB versions can make your Linux setups with SMB a pain ๐. That's why I prefer Linux with samba as the print server, you can fine tune almost everything to make it work with any Windows and Linux install.
thanks for the tip, i will have a look!
and yeah, funny enough i had less problems getting SMB to work between linux and windows than windows and windows despite it being a Microsoft native.
Also, true story, LTSC 2019 can't see shares from LTSC 2021, but the opposite works without a problem ๐คฃ. It was a bug, they eventually fixed it, but took them like a year or so (they threw the ball at users, not setting up the shares correctly ๐), and I already reinstalled all rigs with LTSC 2019, so... too late MS ๐คท... I haven't used LTSC 2021 from that point on.
