Someone in the office set up printing from a Mac to a printer connected through USB to a Windows computer (the only Windows computer in the office). He can't remember how he set it up and no one else can get a configuration to work.
Viewing the print queue settings or options doesn't tell us much.
How can we see the detailed configuration?
Please note, this question is not about getting the printer to work, it is only about reviewing the details of an already configured remote printer so that it can be identically set up on another Mac.
The working computer is running OS 10.8.4. We want to export to 10.8 and 10.7
