Try searching online for cups filters. Maybe someone made a custom filter file for that printer that works... worth a shot ๐Ÿคท. 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 ๐Ÿ˜”. 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 ๐Ÿคฃ. 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 ๐Ÿ˜’), and I already reinstalled all rigs with LTSC 2019, so... too late MS ๐Ÿคท... I haven't used LTSC 2021 from that point on.
