Since printers can be added, but before adding the package must be installed (if installed) containing the driver or controller. If you do not know the driver that is used to find out in "http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting."
To add a printer using cups you have to access "http://localhost:631" through a browser, the menu "Administration" on the "Add Printer
." Choose a name (the most important and will be used by applications to print), location (location description), description (printer). Then choose the type of connection (connected printer will automatically appear with your connection) can choose AppSocket / HP JetDirect (protocol used by HP JetDirect), LPT1, USB, http, ipp (through another cups server used by a printer or network card), samba, among others. Is chosen as controller driver If you are not in the list may provide the printer ppd file obtained from the printer CD or downloaded from the web. Finally, set the "connection URI."
Setup shared printers
The printer sharing can be done in several ways. Here I explain some. By cups (localhost: 631) on the server and client
cups is necessary to install the client and the server:
# Aptitude install cups
- In the print server (where the printer is connected) under the tab "Administration
" will enable "Printer Sharing
public
connected to this system." From the tab
Printers "and select the installed printer will enable" Printer Post. " - On the client on the tab "Administration
" option is enabled "
Show printers shared by other systems " to save changes and at times will set the printer and can be corroborated from the tab Printers
. The printer will have a "connection URI" type "
ipp: / / 192.168.1.1:631 / printers / PrinterName "
By
samba - samba In the server install (aptitude install samba) and "
/ etc / samba / smb.conf
" in the printers put the parameter "public" to "yes" to share the printer without password or "no" to share after authenticating:
[printers] comment = Printers browseable = no path = / var / spool / samba printable = yes
public = yes create mask = 0700
To authenticate the user, is added to the system user without shell is assigned password in the system and samba:
# useradd-s / sbin / nologin user # passwd user # smbpasswd-a user
- In Unix customers over cups add a printer whose connection type is "
samba" and the connection URI "
smb: / / UsuarioSmb: password @ equipo_con_la_impresora / PrinterName ." For a domain connection URI is "
smb: / / UsuarioSmb: password @ DOMAIN / equipo_con_la_impresora / PrinterName "
- In a WindowsXP client accessing " \\ \\ 192.168.1.1 \\ PrinterName
", you double click the printer and follow the onscreen instructions to install it. If the parameter" public "is like" no "when you want to print must first log into the user created by going to" \\ \\ 192,168. 1.1 "and then send to print. Configure printers with its own network card and IP
client is added to the printer via CUPS protocol by choosing the"
IPP
"and URI type of connection"
ipp: / / 192.168.1.1/nombreImpresora "or"
http://192.168.1.1:631/nombreImpresora
.
HP
If the printer is HP is set to install the following packages:
- hp-setup (configuration tool)
- hplip (drivers)
- hpijs (driver)
Then, since console as administrator, run:
# hp-setup Follow
screen instructions.
Other packages or applications related to printers
foomatic Foomatic is a set of tools and print drivers for many printers. These drivers can be used to add a printer from Cups, but foomatic brings a graphical application called foomatic-gui (Gnome) that lets you add and manage printers.
KDEPrint is a manager like KDE printers foomatic-gui but with more options. Ghostscript
Bring a lot of printer drivers. Gutenprint Bring drivers for many printers. These drivers are specifically designed for printing with GIMP very good results in the image prints.
printconf
automatically configures USB and parallel printers with CUPS
NOTE:
printers added to any application will be visible from cups.
