If you want to do really insane things, you can install WSL in Windows and share the windows printer from within WSL, as a CUPS printer... this should work, if you can add the local Windows printer as a printer inside WSL first.
something like this might work: sudo lpadmin -p Your_Printer_Name -E -v usb://Your_Printer_URI -m everywhere
- ggm 2y agoAwesome! thanks. I shall now have something to play with. -G
- kazinator 2y agoWhy would you share the "windows printer" when you can just share the "printer". Is it just so your print jobs out of WSL appear in your Windows printer queue and can be managed there?
- actionfromafar 2y agoNah, just a possible workaround to OPs "which is also refusing to be a shared printer for <reasons>". (Come to think about, may also need network shenanigans for WSL to be visible on the local network?)
