Configuring printing if you use the Common UNIX Printing System™ (CUPS)
To be able to print using Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS),
the following extra configuration is needed:
- If you have any LPD clients on your application server, you must enable
the CUPS LPD compatibility mode so that CUPS will accept remote print jobs from LPD clients.
The CUPS Software
Administrators Manual explains how you enable LPD compatibility mode.
- On the host on which Tarantella is installed, enable 'raw printing'
in CUPS by editing the
/etc/cups/mime.convs and
/etc/cups/mime.types files.
These files contain comments explaining how to do this (search for 'raw').
- Run the
prtinstall.en.sh script to install
a printer on the UNIX application server. You may have to use the
--cups
option to indicate that you are using CUPS.
- After making these changes, you may have to restart the CUPS daemon.
You must print using install_dir/bin/lp.
Note LPD print jobs from Windows NT systems fail because there is no way
of identifying where the print job originated.
