Printing

Printing on Slackware Linux using CUPS

Very short notes about my experience with CUPS on Slackware 10.1 Linux. It's interesting, but I spent 1/2 of year and 2 hours to configure printing to remote printers - Linux and Windows XP. Half of year I was lazy and 2 hours I actually spent to setup. I was absolutely dummy about CUPS, I used lpd and was almost happy until I upgraded Slackware. Anyway, now I use CUPS,everything works (cyrillic printing also).

Server configuration

1. Shutdown lpd
2. edit /etc/cupsd.conf, add "Allow from yourhost"
3. chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
4. /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
5. http://cups_server:631/
6. Printers → Add Printer
