[Samba] Ubuntu printing in a Windows10 USB printer

[Edison Albuquerque]

Thanks for your help.
I understood that a printer (mine is HP), has a web server inside that will
allow me to configure an IP address to it.
Is that right?
If so, I'll plug it in my notebook via USB and try to access the web page.
Any further guidance will be very appreciated.
Best wishes.
