Setup Network Printer from MAC using CUPS

fixes the not authorized problem
Have a print server running on my Synology server. Need to print from a MAC running OS X.

Log in to cups via the browser using http://localhost:631 on the Mac.
Choose add printer, give the printer a name and location, choose Windows printer via Samba, and as device url use: smb://user:password@ip-adress/usbprinter.

User and password being valid credentials for the Synology device. I used my admin account for this, with the corresponding password.

(I prior installed the latest HP printer drivers (ver. 4.0), but I don't know if this is necessary)
