Cups Printing Not Working

2buck56 · 04-08-2010, 04:33 PM

I just brought up a new server on RHEL4 to replace an existing older one. The server is using CUPS for printing. I copied the cupsd.conf, printers.conf, and lpoptions files over from the old server. I also copied the printer files in the /etc/cups/ppd directory over to the new server. But I can't get printing to work.

And when I run system-config-printer-tui I don't see any of the printers in the dialog box. What other file(s) am I missing?

Got the answer from here:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/e...ve-config.html

On old server:
/usr/sbin/system-config-printer-tui --Xexport > settings.xml

On new server:
/usr/sbin/system-config-printer-tui --Ximport < settings.xml

Then restart cups.

Hope this will help someone else.
