The server name is the hostname or IP address of the server machine. The printer name is the name of the printer on the server machine. Lpadmin -p printer -E -v ipp:// server/printers/ printer -m everywhere The most tedious method of configuring client machines is to configureĮach remote queue by hand using the lpadmin(8) Manual Configuration of Print Queues Note: The environment variable overrides both the user and systemĬnf files, if any. Will run the Firefox web browser pointed to the specified server and Override the default server for a single process, for example: The user nf file takes precedence over the system one.įinally, you can set the CUPS_SERVER environment variable to User-specific server create a file named ~/.cups/nf instead. The default server can also be customized on a per-user basis. If the server is not using the default IPP port (631), you can add the The server name can be the hostname or IP address of the default The default server create a file named /etc/cups/nf with a The default server is normally the local system ("localhost"). Use this configuration only as absolutely necessary. However, if that server goes down then all printing will beĭisabled. This method of configuration does not work on macOS 10.7 or later because sandboxed applications do not always have direct network access.ĬUPS can be configured to run without a local spooler and send all jobs to a Lpadmin -p printer -o printer-op-policy=authenticated You can require authentication for shared printing by setting the policy on each printer, for example: Lpadmin -p printer -o printer-is-shared=true
Next, tag each printer that you want to share using the lpadmin(8) command on the server, for example: To allow printing from any subnet, use the following command instead: The simplest way to do this is to use the cupsctl(8) command on the server:īy default, the above command will allow printing from other clients on the same subnet as your server.
You must enable printer sharing on the server before clients can print through it. SMB browsing can also be used to manually discover and access shared printers when Samba is installed. When printing to legacy print servers you may also use the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol when printing to older UNIX-based servers or Server Message Block (SMB) when printing to Windows ® servers.Ĭlients can automatically discover and access shared printers via DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD a.k.a. Clients can also be servers if they communicate directly with any printers of their own.īy default, CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) to send jobs from a client to a server. A "client" is any machine that sends print jobs to a server for final printing. The BasicsĪ "server" is any machine that communicates directly to a printer. This document discusses several ways to configure printer sharing.
