Install python 2.7

Add environment variables on Windows for C:\Python27, C:\Python27\Scripts

This tool was intended to use a printer that does not have drivers for linux.

We installed a VirtualBox on linux, and then run print commands with winexe.

Install winexe

sudo apt-get install winexe

Authorize remote desktop on windows.

And then you can run

winexe -U HOME/admin%password //192.168.1.xx 'C:\Python27\python.exe C:\path\to\win32print\print.py -i "C:\path\to\picture.jpg"'

If you see authorization error, try

turn off UAC remote restrictions

if it still does not work, try

turn off UAC completely

if it still does not work, try to disable firewalls, and make the network private instead of public.
