\n<\/a>CUPS does not allow for some characters to be entered in the forms, where system-config-printer<\/em> does.
\nThe command lets you browse and search for your printer, but if you already know the URL, then entering that URL directly is preferred. Consider the following:<\/p>\nsmb:\/\/<user_name>:<password>@<domain_name>\/<server_name>\/<printer_name><\/pre>\n
\nYou can find this file here:<\/p>\n\/etc\/cups\/printers.conf<\/pre>\n
sudo systemctl restart cups.service<\/pre>\n
