Hi all,
I have used Novell's SuSE 10.1 with CUPS as network Print Server for
Linux and Windows Clients. I've had to use SAMBA and then share a SMB
printer for all the clients, even for the Linux boxes.
With the SUSE 10.0/10.1 printmgr program, I could scan the network for
all network printers, but not see the broadcasting CUPS servers. YaST's
hardware tool for Printers behaves the same way. Is there a quick and
simple procedure to set up a OpenSUSE 10.2 CUPS print server and get a
OpenSUSE 10.2 workstation get the CUPS printer on the CUPS Server? Other
Network Printers, like HP-JetDirect, are easily connected with
socket://<IP>:9100.
Thew CUPS Server has the following:
alc1100 (Default Printer)
Description: EPSON AL-C1100
Location: USB printer on //EPSON/AL-C1100
Make and Model: EPSON AL-C1100, ESC/PageS Filter
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: usb://EPSON/AL-C1100
How should a CUPS Printer on a workstation be configured, that prints to
the OpenSUSE 10.2 CUPS Server?
As a SMB Printer it is easily done on the OpenSUSE 10.2 workstation
machine with YaST's hardware tool. YaST's Printer Configuration on the
OpenSUSE 10.2 workstation for a SMB Printer on the CUPS Server above:
