I'd love to be able to share a single USB printer between a couple of Linux boxes without having to run a full CUPS printserver.
Well, you always have a full cups printserver in opensuse boxes, only that they are limited to the localhost network. You simply have to allow connections from the local network instead.
Thanks for the replies.
I guess that I wasn't clear. I know that I can run a full CUPS server.
The thing is, in fact you are running it already :-)
I'm trying to avoid that because I don't want to have a Linux box running 24/7 just to provide a printserver.
Ah, that's different, you don't want to have the computer running fulltime. Then, you can simply configure the printer on both machines, and change the usb cable from one machine to another, as needed. I think there are usb switches. My solution, although accidental, was to get a network printer. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
