Cups


Two ways we can configure the printer

1.locally printing(system-config-printer)
2.Network(using /etc/cups/cupsd.conf)

and changing the tags,,,

and then sharing it on the domain by elinks on network,,

for ex: elinks http://10.0.0.254:/printers

and add the network printer

Question: All the above configurations are on the client side right??

Question2:On server we need the IP address and NFS am i right??

I use cups to configure printers locally and as remote printers. This may work, but i found the support much bettrer using only cups.

No, this file configure the daemon, not the printer.

To configure a printer, start the cups daemon, and in a web browser,

http://localhost:631

To add a printer log as root. Select "Do Admin Tasks" then "Add Printer".

Local printers are configured on the system the printer is attached to. Remote cups printer are configured on the remote system, after the printer is added and working on the host system.

NFS is not required at all for cups. You will need the IP address of the system hosting the printer.
