Cannot find / install network printers using Win 7 64 Bit
Hi,
I have Ubuntu and windows 7 installed on my 64 bit computer. I am on a network having around 100 network printers. I was able to configure the right printers through Ubuntu but in windows 7, when the I follow the add network printer wizard, Windows cannot
find any any printer. Does any one know how to resolve this issue. In ubuntu, the same problem was there but it was resilved by using the CUPS web interface at
http://localhost:631. But I don't have CUPS installed on windows and moreover it is not available for 64 bit windows.. I cannot access the this localhost from Windows 7.
Any idea to find or install network printers in this situation? Any suggestion or help will be appriciated

do that printer has turned on feature "list in Directory"?
if it is not just press "The printer that i want is not listed" in "Add Printer" dialog box, and try to install printer at this way.

Thanks Con Stantine. Its done. The problem was with the port settings. I got those details from the university and it is fixed now. Thank you.
