Remote printing.
Printing on linux is so much fun. Used a web browser for accessing Cups to set up a printer on my server from my desktop. The Cups software easily found the network printer. and after I chose a driver, the driver was installed without ever having to load a single cd or restart a computer. Was printing in just a few minutes. You need to change a few settings. First back up your settings file. $ sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.original Then you need to write protect the file. $ sudo chmod a-w /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.original And lastly you need to add settings in the settings file to let the interface be accessible. [code] # Only listen for connections from the local machine. Listen localhost:631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock Listen 192.168.1.41:631 # Listen on the LAN interface, Port 631 (IPP) local host address # Show shared printers on the local network.
