From windows server 2003 I can easily add a cups printer service from another host:

I tried the same on a windows server 2008 machine, as Administrator, but I cannot find a way to add this kind of http printer addresses there.
What is the way to do it on 2008 ?
(I can easily go to the cups http page in a browser from the 2008 machine)

For both 2008 and 2008 R2 it’s the same process: on the start menu and type “Add a Printer” then click on the link that’s displayed, the Add Printer wizard will open. In the wizard choose add a network printer, then click “the printer I want isn’t listed”. The next page should allow you to add an http:// or share address for the printer, the UI has changed slightly so that both types of entry are made in the same text-entry box. This process has been tested on Server 2008, 2008 R2 and Windows 7 however I have no cups service so can’t test the connectivity.
