Migrating from lpr to cups, and can't get past square 1.
Have read reams of docs
Downloaded latest bits off of sourceforge.
Gotten ppd for the remote printer.
My setup is this:
----------- -------------------- -------------------------
| Debian wS | -> | HP-UX Print Server | -> / Networked HP LasterJet /
----------- -------------------- -------------------------
The GUI gnome-cups-add and gnome-cups-manager don't seem to be unable to set
up remote printing via a remote print server.
Tried direct with lpadmin, however every command fails with can't
communicate with server I supply after the -h option.
Anybody else done this?
Firm frowns on connecting directly to the network printers, therefore need
to go through print server?
System - Debian 3.1
Kernel - 2.6.12.2
step by step:
- install cups on the server
- set up printer on server (eg. web front end)
- allow printing on server for your workstation (config file or gui)
- install cups on client; here debian defaults work for me.
I had some problems trying to set up with the guis myself. It's really
more simple and convenient to use the config-files and web front end.
We use the standard config files on the workstations and just add/change
the folling lines in /etc/cups/cups.conf on the server:
> BrowseAddress 192.168.0.255
> BrowseAllow 192.168.0.*

Modify the subnet to your needs.
Works like charm.
Hope that helps,
Johannes
