@TravelingTechGuy Yeah, Windows will most likely not be able to detect it automatically unless there is some way to add Bonjour/Zeroconf to Windows that I don't know about. So you need to add it as a network printer manually as you also tried.
I'm not entirely sure why you still couldn't get it to work, but I haven't tested IPv6 support that thoroughly yet, so it might be related to that. I have tested it using IPv4 on Windows 10 and that worked. I used this guide:

Can you tell me if you did the same thing or if you did something different?

@TravelingTechGuy I didn't take any screenshots when I did it on Win10, but you can check my steps on XP here

@watson tried following the Windows 10 instructions to the letter.
- I ran the global module in the folder
C:\Users\myuser\Code\printer\
. - I picked a random printer name for the driver.
- I'm getting an error when trying to print the test page
$ ipp-printer

@TravelingTechGuy Seems like it doesn't have permissions to create files in the current directory. Can it be a permission issue?
It's trying to create a file on this line:
Line 18 in a85dd13

Hmm, I wonder why. My user is the admin. And the folder is under my user's profile anyway.
Perhaps it's printing under a different user (like a print spooler). At any rate, I'd like to use the non-global version. I hope that won't happen under that condition.

@TravelingTechGuy Turned out to be the colons in the filename that Windows didn't like. I've updated the CLI to add the epoch to the filename instead of the ISO timestamp. It's released in v0.10.7 on npm.
Thanks for reporting this 😃

@watson great! Glad it was a real issue eventually :)
Thanks for the hard work!

it did work here too on windows 10. but windows prompted me to specify a driver first ? is this expected ? which driver should i select ? i selected the microsoft print to pdf (microsoft PS printer works too) but still i would like not to have to choose this.

installing the Apple Bonjour Print Services for Windows did the same, it detected the printer but asks for a printer driver then.
EDIT: the apple print services can find the printer, but cannot install them btw. something about access rights. seems they did not update this service for a few years.

@matthiasg yeah, unfortunately windows doesn't have a default IPP driver (as far as I know). So you need to chose a dummy printer driver manually. I usually just chose HP Color LaserJet 2500 PS Class Driver
There might be a way to tell windows witch driver to use by modifying the TXT record when advertising or modifying some of the IPP responses. I'll have to look into that.

@watson Have no HP Color LaserJet 2500 PS Class Driver in Windows 7 x64
What should i do?
from ipp-printer.
@otaroo Try to use Microsoft PS Class Driver
