To enable CUPS, execute '${PREFIX}/sbin/cups-enable' as root.
To disable CUPS, execute '${PREFIX}/sbin/cups-disable' as root.
To start cups at boot time, add the following to
/etc/rc.local:
if [ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/cupsd ]; then
#chgrp _cups /dev/ulpt[0-1] # uncomment if using USB printer
#chgrp _cups /dev/lpt[0-2] # uncomment if using parallel printer
echo y | ${PREFIX}/sbin/cups-enable > /dev/null
echo -n ' cupsd'; ${PREFIX}/sbin/cupsd
fi
Starting cupsd will overwrite /etc/printcap. A backup copy of this file
is saved as /etc/printcap.pre-cups by '${PREFIX}/sbin/cups-enable'
and will be restored when you run '${PREFIX}/sbin/cups-disable'.
If you want to use CUPS bundled PPD files (i.e. drivers), you'll need to
install ghostscript. Also if you want to print on non-PostScript
printers, you will most probably want to install the foomatic-filters
package which provides a universal filter script.
